As expected, Figure 9 shows less emission at 2,400 nm out of the 3F4 state of Pr3+ in the co-doped crystal compared to 1,483-nm pumping of the singly doped crystal, because SGC-CBP30 manufacturer the 3F4 state of Pr3+ is no longer being pumped directly. Figure 9 Fluorescence from 1,600 to 2,800 nm from Tm 3+ -Pr 3+ :KPb 2 Cl 5 . Fluorescence resulting from 1,483-nm pumping of Tm3+-Pr3+:KPb2Cl5 compared to fluorescence resulting from ON-01910 clinical trial 805-nm pumping. The sample has a Pr3+ concentration of 1.5 × 1020 ions/cm3 and a Tm3+ concentration of 3.0 × 1020 ions/cm3. Figure 10 Fluorescence from 3,000 to
5,500 nm from Tm 3+ -Pr 3+ :KPb 2 Cl 5 . Fluorescence resulting from 1,483-nm pumping of Tm3+-Pr3+:KPb2Cl5 compared to fluorescence resulting from 805-nm pumping. The sample has a Pr3+ concentration of 1.5 × 1020 ions/cm3 and a Tm3+ concentration of 3.0 × 1020 ions/cm3. Figure 11 shows lifetime data for the 1,450-nm BIIB057 in vivo emission from the 3H4 level of Tm3+ resulting from 805-nm pumping for the singly doped and co-doped samples [32]. Comparison of the 1,450-nm emission from Tm3+:KPb2Cl5 to 1,450-nm emission from Tm3+-Pr3+:KPb2Cl5 shows the rapid quenching of emission from the Tm3+ because of energy transfer to the Pr3+. Analyses of the Tm3+ lifetime data for the co-doped crystal
show that the energy transfer processes from the Tm3+ sensitizers to the Pr3+ acceptors have high quantum efficiencies. For the energy transfer process labelled T1 in Figure 6, the quantum efficiency η 1 is estimated at 94%, and for the process labelled T2 in Figure 6, the estimated quantum efficiency η 2 is 83% [32]. The process labelled T3 can be neglected because the 3H5 level of Tm3+ never obtains significant population. Further analysis of the decay transients provides estimates of 11 and 12 Å, respectively, for the critical radii of energy transfer from the 3H4 and 3F4 states of Tm3+. The critical radii for this co-doped system are comparable to the critical Anacetrapib radii of electric dipole-dipole interactions involving rare earth ions in other host crystals, such
as the cross relaxation of Tm3+ in YCl3 discussed in the earlier part of this paper. Figure 11 Transient decays from the 3 H 4 level of Tm 3+ . Room temperature normalized fluorescence decays from the 3H4 level of Tm3+ arising from 805-nm diode pumping. Comparison is made of 1,450-nm emission from Tm3+:KPb2Cl5 to 1,450-nm emission from Tm3+-Pr3+:KPb2Cl5. The usefulness of this system is that it functions as an optically pumped mid-IR phosphor that converts light from 805-nm diodes to broadband mid-IR from 4 to 5.5 μm. The 805-nm diode sources are low in cost compared to 1.5- or 2-μm sources that would activate the Pr3+ mid-IR emission directly. This material could be used as a low-cost method for detecting gases with absorptions in the 4- to 5.5-μm range.
