Abstract
We successfully synthesized Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped KY3F10 nanocrystals by a facile hydrothermal method. The average size of the as-prepared nanocrystals was about 60 nm based on the observation of scanning electron microscope. Under the excitation of a 976 nm laser, the Er3+/Yb3+ doped KY3F10 nanocrystals showed intense near-infrared emission band centered at 1539 nm. The optimal concentrations of Er3+ were carefully selected according to the quantum yield measurement for a stronger emission in the C-band. The as-prepared nanocrystals were dispersed into a monomer, bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylates, in which self-written waveguides can be fabricated under the irradiation of an induced laser at 450 nm. The KY3F10: Er3+/Yb3+ nanocrystals embedded polymer waveguide were fabricated by laser-induced self-written technique. Two pieces of single mode fiber were well connected with the waveguide in the fabrication procedure. Under a 976 nm laser pumping, amplified spontaneous emission at 1539 nm was observed in the KY3F10: Er3+/Yb3+ nanocrystals doped waveguide.
