Absorption spectra, emission spectra of nanoized erbium implanted mesoporous silica functionalized with and without bis(perfluoromethylsulfonyl)amine as ligand were studied. Luminescence with high intensity has been obtained. The Judd-Ofelt strength parameters Ω t ( t =2,4,6)were calculated as Ω 2 =1.88×10 -20 cm 2 , Ω 4 =5.45×10 -20 cm 2 and Ω 6 =3.11×10 -20 cm 2 , respectively. Oscillator strength, spontaneous emission probability, branching ratio and emission lifetime of each energy levels of Er 3+ were given. The peak intensity of emission spectra varying with the pump power was discussed. Stimulated emission cross section ( σ em =10.9×10 -21 cm 2 ) was calculated and compared with that of other host materials.
