Upconversion-Pumped Cerium Lasers
Abstract
This project investigated the optical emission of new materials doped with Ce(3+) for indications of practical alternatives to conventional excitation of Ce light sources. Two approaches were tried: one was based on Nd(3+) upconversion dynamics in co-doped samples, and the other utilized electron beam pumping of Ce-doped nanopowders. Electron excitation showed exceptional promise for achieving bright emission from powders in which particle sizes averaged less than 50 nm.
