Abstract

 

Rare Earth elements have been studied for different scientific areas due to its excellent spectroscopic and magnetic properties with possible application for construction of different optical and electric devices (MARTINS, 2005; LOURENÇO et al., 2011). In this work, it is studied the optical properties of Ytterbium (Yb3+) ions embedded in a lead-borosilicate glass matrix synthesized by the melting method, using the optical absorption and photoluminescence techniques. The Yb3+ ions were chosen to dope the glass matrix because it has an energy level scheme more simplified compared with other Rare-Earth ions, with only two energy levels, making it very attractive for the construction of high efficiency optical devices. Increasing the annealing temperature as well as the ion concentration in the matrix leads to a shift of the optical band gap of the matrix to higher energies. We believe that this shift (blue-shift) can be associated with the nanocrystallization process of the glass matrix SBP (SiO2, B2O3, PbO2). The reduction of radiative lifetime with increasing ion concentration in matrix was studied using the Stokowski empirical relation, in which, it studies processes of energy transfer as a function of Rare-Earth concentration.
