In this paper we present results on cooperative luminescence performed on Yb 3+ -doped metaphosphate glasses under 980 nm excitation. We have measured emission spectra and decay lifetimes in the visible and infrared regions as a function of Yb concentration. It was observed that, up to 10% of Yb concentration, cooperative emission increases while lifetime is observed to decrease. Such behaviour is attributed to the Yb interaction with OH − radicals and energy migration among Yb ions.
