Abstract The structural and optical characteristics of Nd3+-Yb3+ doped CaF2 phosphors with and without the addition of Li+ ions are described in this work. The phosphors synthetized by hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods showed near-infrared (NIR) luminescence emission associated with inter-electronic transition of the Yb3+ ion in the range of 900–1050 nm via energy transfer process from Nd3+ ions under visible light excitation. The addition of Li+ to these phosphors resulted in an improvement of the NIR luminescence intensity by a factor up to 5. The effect of the incorporation of Li+ ions into the CaF2 crystallite structure, the reduction of luminescence quenching states, as well as the energy transfer mechanism involved are discussed.
