Abstract

New rare-earth trifluorides of Gd_1-xYb_xF₃ crystals were grown using the micro-pulling-down (μ-PD) method and single crystals were obtained for composition of x between 0.12 and 0.42 in the current study. Neither visible inclusions nor cracks were observed. Room temperature up-conversion luminescence spectra of Praseodymium (Pr³⁺) -doped Gd_1-xYb_xF₃ were studied. Visible Pr³⁺ emission was obtained under infrared laser pumping on the ytterbium (Yb³⁺) absorption broadband at 935.5 nm. The origin of this emission will be discussed as a function of the decay times.
