Abstract

Ytterbium and copper co-doped phosphate glass containing plasmonic Cu particles showing dichroism was synthesized and the impact on Yb3+ near-infrared (NIR) emission evaluated. While the co-doped precursor glass exhibited ultraviolet to NIR luminescence down-shifting owing to copper(I), the dichroic glass displayed an enhanced NIR emission which is reported herein for the first time. It was found most favorable for Cu+ excitation around 360 nm. Scattering by Cu particles is suggested to produce the emission boost attractive for solar cell applications.

N1 - Materials containing ytterbium(III) are well known for their application in near-infrared (NIR) lasers [1], [2] and nowadays have drawn much attention for spectral conversion in photovoltaic cells [3], [4], [5], [6]. However, Yb 3+ has a simple energy structure which does not support absorption of ultraviolet (UV) and visible (Vis) light.
