Abstract

Erbium (Er) ions were co-implanted with ytterbium (Yb) into Al0.70Ga0.30As substrates and we realized an increase in the intensity of Er intra-4f-shell luminescence. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of Er-related dominant peak (1538.2nm) was enhanced by co-implanted Yb. The thermal quenching was improved. PL intensity of Yb-related emission was decreased. We studied the transfer energy and the optical sensitization of Yb ions co-implanted with Er ions in Al0.70Ga0.30As. Energy transfers from 2F5/2 (the first excited state) → 2F7/2 (the ground state) of Yb3+ to 4I13/2 (the first excited state) → 4I15/2 (the ground state) of Er3+ were observed by PL excitation (PLE) and selectively excited PL (SPL).
