Abstract
$Yb^{3+}$, $Er^{3+}$ co-doped $SrMoO_4$ ($SrMoO_4$ : $Yb^{3+}/Er^{3+}$) specimens have been successfully synthesized via the complex citrate-gel method and their structural and optical properties were investigated in detail. Under 980 nm excitation, $SrMoO_4$ : $Yb^{3+}/Er^{3+}$ UC phosphors have been emitted strong green luminescence at 530 and 550 nm with weak red emission around 670 nm corresponding to the intra 4f transitions of $Er^{3+}$ ($^4F_{9/2}$, $^2H_{11/2}$, $^4S_{3/2}$) ${\rightarrow}$ $Er^{3+}$ ($^4I_{15/2}$). The optimal doping concentrations of $Er^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ ions were verified to 2/16 mol% and a possible upconversion mechanism depending on pump power dependence is studied in detail.
