Abstract

Upconversion (UC) was obtained from phosphate glasses which contain only 0.01 at.% of Er^3 + and 0.06 at.% of Yb^3 +. The glasses were prepared using direct doping method by adding NaYF₄:Er^3 +, Yb^3 + nanoparticles (NPs) into the glass at a doping temperature of 575 °C and 3 minute dwell time. The fraction of NP's survival during glass preparation can be augmented from 5 to 20% when replacing Na₂O by NaF in the glass. Our study suggests that the corrosion behavior of the glass melt is an important parameter to consider in order to engineer new NPs-containing glasses with high UC efficiency.
