Intense 2.0 μm emission of Ho 3+ has been achieved through Yb 3+ sensitization in fluorogermanate glass‐ceramic ( GC ) containing LaF 3 pumped with 980 nm laser diode ( LD ). The observation of concurrent emissions at 538, 650, and 1192 nm points to the additional deexcitation routes based on infrared‐to‐visible upconversion processes and Ho 3+ : 5 I 6 → 5 I 8 radiative transition. Comparative investigations of photoluminescent spectra and decay curves have indicated the effective role of Ce 3+ ions in enhancing the 2.0 μm fluorescence along with suppressing the occurrence of these concurrent emissions. This would offer a promising approach to develop compact and efficient 2.0‐μm laser systems.
