Influences of copper-potassium ion exchange process on the optical bandgaps and spectroscopic properties of Cr³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped in lanthanum aluminosilicate glasses.

ABSTRACT: In this study, lanthanum aluminosilicate glasses with compositions of 45SiO₂-20Al₂O₃-12.5LaF₃-10BaF₂-9K₂O-1Cr₂O₃-2.5Yb₂O₃ (SALBK) were prepared using the conventional melting method and copper-potassium ion exchange process. Influences of the ion exchange process between copper and potassium on the visible, upconversion, and near-infrared luminescence spectra of Cr³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped under excitations of 343, 490, and 980 nm LD were investigated. The EDS analysis of SALBK glasses was measured to confirm the presence of atoms in the glasses. The values of direct and indirect bandgaps of Cr³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped SALBK glasses were calculated and ana
