Large-size crystals initially containing Zn^2＋ （3%） and Er^3＋ （0.6%） with good optical quality were obtained using optimized conditions such as a growth rate of 0.8- 1.5 mm·h^-1 and a temperature gradient of about 30 - 35℃·cm^-1 across the solid-liquid interface and the sealed platinum crucible. X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis （DTA） were used to characterize the crystals. The results indicate that the concentration of Er^3＋ ions in crystals, their absorption intensity, and their fluorescence intensity decrease from the bottom to the top in the crystals. However, for the upper part of the crystal, the up-conversion fluorescence intensity is higher than that of the lower part excited by an 800 or 970 nm pump. The effects of the crystal lattice, their structural defect and their effective segregation of Er^3＋ ions were discussed with respect to the variations of the up-conversion fluorescence intensity.展开更多
