Abstract

Photon cascade emission has been reported in Pr3+-doped SrAl12O19 system, providing a unique method for direct measuring the quantum efficiency of 3P0 in this material. The 1S01I6 fluorescence intensity can be taken as a measure of the initial 3P0 population. Thus the quantum efficiency of 3P0 can be calculated using the intensity ratio of the total emission from 3P0 and the emission of 1S01I6. The efficiency decreases as the concentration of Pr increases, indicating the effect of concentration quenching. The quantum efficiency is still substantially less than 100% even in dilute sample due to the thermal excitation of 1I6 and 3P1 states.
