Abstract: Aiming at exploring new phosphors with deep red or near infrared emission, Mn ion activated Ca14Zn6Al10O35 phosphor was synthesized using high-temperature solid-state method in the air. The spectra of X-ray diffraction curves, reflection spectra, photoluminescence spectra, as well as photoluminescence decay curves, of the phosphors were measured. Both deep red and near infrared emission from Mn4+ and Mn5+ ions respectively, were observed. The emission of Mn5+ ion reaches a maximum when Mn ions substitutes 12.5 % Al site in Ca14Zn6Al10O35. Mn5+ ion shows an intense narrow band emission centering at 1157 nm due to its 1E→3A2 transition, with the lifetime 87.46 ms in Ca14Zn6Al8.75Mn1.25O35. The temperature sensitivity of the near infrared emission reaches a maximum 0.0024 K-1 at 368 K. It is worth noticed that the energy transfer from Mn4+ to Mn5+ is observed, which extend the excitation band of Mn5+ widely and enable to excite the infrared emission of Mn5+ by the commercial InGaN blue chips. Moreover, the excitation and emission peaks locating at 650 nm and 1157 nm respectively are beneficial for real-time biological detection. Thus, we believe that the phosphor has great potential as a multi-functional infrared emission material.

Key words: Mn5+, infrared emission, broad band excitation, energy transfer
