Up-conversion in an Er-containing nanocomposite and microlasers based on it

Resumo

The results of an investigation of three-dimensional polymer microcavities doped with inorganic luminescent particles are presented. Microlasers in the form of rectangular parallelepipeds were fabricated based on the SU8 2025 photoresist by means of compact UV lithography. Luminescent particles containing erbium oxide were obtained by low-temperature synthesis of the corresponding chlorides in a nonaqueous medium. The obtained spectra confirm the presence of a narrowband laser radiation exhibiting a Stokes shift.
