Abstract

(Lu _1-xYb _x) ₃Al ₅O ₁₂ (Yb:LuAG), (Y _1-xYb _x)AlO ₃ (Yb:YAP), (Y _0.9Yb _0.1)VO ₄ (Yb:YVO) and Ca ₈(La _1.98Yb _0.02)(PO ₄) ₆O ₂ (Yb:CLPA) single crystals were grown from the melt. Typical double peak spectrum of the Yb ³⁺ Charge Transfer (CT) luminescence was observed in Yb-doped LuAG and YAP. Strong dependence of decay time and intensity on temperature was observed. Concentration quenching effect in Yb-rich Yb:YAP samples results in pronounced 1/e decay time shortening below 230 K, while above this temperature the decay curves are shaped mostly by the thermal quenching process. Double peak emission spectrum was not observed in Yb:YVO and Yb:CLPA. In the case of CLPA, under excitation in the Yb ³⁺ CT absorption band round 270 nm both the fast (6 ns decay time) and slow components (about 150 μs+600 μs decay times) are observed at room temperature. CLPA emission intensity was not decreasing with temperature between 80 and 300 K. Mixing of the Yb ³⁺ CT and CLPA excitonic states is proposed to explain this interesting phenomenon.
