Abstract

We attained heavy Tb³⁺-doping into a SiO₂ matrix up to 22.8 mol% in Tb₂O₃ concentration by sol-gel process using terbium nitrate. Co-doping of Al³⁺ and/or Na⁺ led to the improvement on photoluminescence characteristics: The ⁵D₃ emission was observed at low Tb³⁺ concentration, indicating an inter-ionic resonant energy transfer, and the intensity of ⁵D₄ emission increased up to 10 mol% with increasing Tb³⁺ concentration in co-doped samples. The effect of Al³⁺ and Na⁺ on the glass network and neighboring configuration of Tb³⁺ is discussed based on the optical spectra.
