The effects of Er2O3 (0–8 mol%) doping and Er2O3 and Yb2O3 codoping (total 1–7 mol%) on the absorption cross-section, PL, and upconversion intensities of the SnO–P2O5 glass have been investigated. Precipitation of ErPO4 and the (Yb, Er)PO4 crystalline phase in the SnO–P2O5 glass matrix when the total rare-earth oxide content is >4 mol% plays an important role in determining the absorption cross-section, PL, and upconversion intensities. For Er3+-doped glass, the variation of the PL characteristic with the Er2O3 content is obviously different from that for general rare-earth-doped glasses. This result is explained in terms of the light-scattering effect caused by the ErPO4 crystals and the constant Er–Er distance in ErPO4 crystals with increasing Er2O3 content. After codoping with Yb2O3, the PL intensity of the glass is enhanced by about 14.7 times at the optimum Yb2O3 content of 6 mol% (∼1.81 × 1021 ions/cm3). Further increase in the Yb2O3 content results in the reduction of PL intensity, which can be explained in terms of the APTE upconversion effect.
