  • Abstract
    We report on the ultraviolet (UV) and blue emission properties of Tm doped AlGaN/AIN thin films under above- and below bandgap excitation. UV (/spl sim/300-350 nm) and blue (/spl sim/465 nm) emission lines of Tm/sup 3+/ ions are of interest for potential applications in chemical/biological sensing, full color displays, and solid-state lightening.
