The infrared quantum cutting phenomena, which is an international hot research field, of Er1.0P5O14 noncrystalline glass are studied by the present paper for the first time. The 1537.0nm infrared fluorescence of Er1.0P5O14 noncrystalline glass is confirmed to be the multi-photon quantum cutting fluorescence by computation and comparison between absorption and excitation spectra. It is found that the 4I13/2→4I15/2 quantum cutting fluorescence is very strong, induced by the excited 2H11/2, 4G11/2, and 4G9/2 energy levels. Its mechanism is thoroughly analyzed based on the calculation of spontaneous emission rates, nonradiative multiphonon relaxation rates and energy transfer rates. It is found the strong downconversion energy transfers {2H11/2→4I9/2,4I15/2→4I13/2},{4G11/2→4I13/2, 4I15/2→2H11/2},{4G9/2→4F7/2,4I15/2→4I13/2} 和 {4G9/2→4I13/2, 4I15/2→2H11/2} are responsible for the strong infrared three-photon and four-photon quantum cutting fluorescence of Er1.0P5O14 noncrystalline glass. The present research is significant for enhancing solar cell efficiency.
