AbstractNew, efficient, vitroceramic hosts for rare earth luminescence are discussed. Their applications to infrared up-conversion are emphasized. Optimized compositions lead to an efficiency nearly twice as high as commerciallyavailable LaF3:Yb:Er. As for infrared to blue efficiency, these vitroceramicsare among the best compounds obtained so far. The easy preparation in airatmosphere is described. The excitation spectra have the advantage of beingbroader than usual for up-conversion phosphors. Kinetic studies present somepuzzling behavior with respect to sample geometry; e.g., the rise time increases fourfold with sample thickness between 0.1 and 4.5 mm. Segregationof rare earths in the microcrystalline phase rather than in the glassy one isclearly shown which explains the high efficiencies.
