Abstract
Intense blue upconversion emission has been observed at room temperature un der excitation in the range of 630-660 nm in a fluoroindate glass doped wit h 2.5 mol% of Tm3+. The experimental dynamics and power dependence of this emission are well described using a photon avalanche model based on the mea n field approximation.
