Abstract

This work focuses on the fabrication processes and photonic assessment of SiO₂-SnO₂:Er³⁺ monoliths. To obtain the crack-free and densified system, the sol-gel derived synthesis protocols and heat-treatment processes were optimized. The absorption measurements were employed to assess the effect of the heat-treatment on the samples and specially to estimate the -OH content. The XRD patterns were used to investigate the crystallization as well as the structure of the monoliths. The emission spectra, performed at different excitation wavelengths, evidence the presence of Er³⁺ in the SnO₂ nanocrystals and the energy transfer from SnO₂ to the rare earth ions. In addition, the efficient role of SnO₂ nanocrystals as Er³⁺ sensitizers are also experimentally confirmed in this system.
