摘要

Results of investigating the spectral and luminescent characteristics of optical ceramics from thulium- and holmium- coactivated yttrium sesquioxide (Tm,Ho:Y2O3) are presented. The ceramic samples were fabricated using solid-state vacuum sintering of nano-sized particles with a complex chemical composition synthesized by laser evaporation. The transmittance of Tm,Ho:Y2O3 ceramics in the region of 2 μm exceeded 82%, indicative of their high optical quality. The redistribution of line intensities in the luminescence spectra of 3F43H6 transitions of Tm3+ and 5I75I8 transitions of Ho3+ observed upon excitation of Tm3+ to the 3H4 level in ceramics with different Tm3+/Ho3+ ratios indicated the occurrence of a nonradiative energy transfer process from the 3F4 level of Tm3+ to the 5I7 level of Ho3+.
