A series of Yb:Er:LiNbO3 crystals tridoped with x mol% Zn2+ ions (x = 1, 3, 5 and 8 mol%) was grown by Czochralski technique. The inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) was used to measure the concentration of Er3+ in the crystal. The UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectra of Zn:Yb:Er:LiNbO3 crystals were measured, and Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory was applied to predict the J-O intensity parameters (Omega(t)) and spectroscopic quality factor (X). With 980 nm excitation, duration lengthening of 1.54 mu m emission and intensity enhancement of green upconversion emission were observed for Zn:Yb:Er:LiNbO3 crystal.
