Energy Transfer Studies in Tb<sup>3+</sup>-Yb<sup>3+</sup> Co-Doped Phosphate Glasses

Detailed optical properties of Tb<sup>3+</sup>-Yb<sup>3+</sup> co-doped phosphate glasses were performed based on their emission spectra and decay measurements. Under blue excitation of Tb<sup>3+</sup> at 488 nm, the intensity of Yb<sup>3+</sup> emissi...
