Broadband luminescence operating at ∼2.0 μm wavelength and its correlation with the competitive incorporation of Tm 3+ /Ho 3+ into sol–gel nano-glas
Natalia Żak, Joanna Śmiarowska, Marta Kuwik, Bartosz Handke, Maciej Zubko, Maciej Sitarz, Wojciech A. PisarskiIn this work, a series of Tm 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped sol–gel nano-glass-ceramics, with a tunable luminescence profile (from a long-lived emission centered at ∼2.0 μm to a NIR broadband emission), was synthesized and characterized.
