The effect of Yb3+ co-doping on the upconversion luminescence in nanocrystalline Gd3Ga5O12:Ho3+ was examined. Strong and efficient NIR to green anti-Stokes luminescence was noted in nanocrystalline Gd3Ga5O12:Ho3+, Yb3+ after excitation into the F-2(5/2) level of Yb3+ with 978 nm radiation. Weaker blue, red and NIR anti-Stokes luminescence was also observed after 978 nm excitation. An enhancement of the red F-5(5) --> I-5(8) luminescence was observed in the anti-Stokes spectrum compared to the Stokes emission spectrum. This enhancement was attributed to two distinct energy transfer upconversion (ETU) mechanisms which preferentially 5 populate the (F-5(4), S-5(2)) and F-5(5) levels. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
