We report on the optical spectroscopy of trivalent erbium ions doped into compositionally disordered oxide host materials, CaGdAlO4and Ca3Ga2Ge3O14. In either material, averaged spectral linewidths of close to 40cm−1are measured to be concentration independent up to 5 mol% of the dopant ion. For laser excitation resonant with the4I15/2→4F9/2and4I13/2→4F5/2and4F3/2transitions, intense blue and green upconversion fluorescence is observed. Dips in the upconversion excitation spectra are attributable to radiative energy transfer (or self-absorption) which is known to enhance energy storage and upconversion.
