Abstract

When a praseodymium doped fluoride fiber was pumped with a 587 nm dye laser that resonantly excited the ¹D₂ level of Pr³⁺, we detected energy upconversion signals at 492 and 522 nm from the ³P_0,1 levels. We also observed violet upconversion signals at 356, 382 and 413 nm. Anti Stokes Raman signals were observed at 3500 - 4200 cm^-1 away from the laser beam.
