Abstract
Avalanche upconversion is reported for Er3+ doped fluoroindate glass p umped at 633.5 nm. Strong frequency upconversion signals and intensity dependent transmittances are observed. The results of the transient a nd steady-state measurements agree well with the predictions of a rate -equation model which take into account cross-relaxation processes amo ng pairs of erbium ions.
