Intense blue-upconversion in Tm3+∕Yb3+-codoped gallate–bismuth–lead glasses has been achieved under an excitation from a commercially available 980nm laser diode. Energy transfer processes and excited-state absorption account for the population of the G41 emitting level of the Tm3+. Although the addition of GeO2 has enhanced the glass thermal stability, the phonon mode associated with vibration of GeO2 has almost no influence on the blue-upconversion intensity and the radiative lifetime of H43 level. The dependence of the phonon energy of the host on contributions from multiphonon decay on the fluorescence has been discussed. Significant enhancement of the blue-upconversion has also been observed in gallate–bismuth–lead glasses with the incorporation of PbF2 content.Intense blue-upconversion in Tm3+∕Yb3+-codoped gallate–bismuth–lead glasses has been achieved under an excitation from a commercially available 980nm laser diode.
