Erbium (Er) doped in nanocrystalline Si (nc-Si:Er) surrounded by SiO2 is investigated by selectivelyexcited photoluminescence(PL) technique. Optical transitions come from nc-Si (peak located at 1.39 eV, denoted as Enc-Si) and Er ions (peak located at 0. 81 eV, denoted as EEr) are measured when nc-Si:Er is excited by 1. 519 eV or higher excitation photon energy(Eex). Although the Eex of 1.42 eV exceeds the peak energies of Enc-Si and EEr the Enc-Si and EE, emissions are unobserved. A resonant enhancement of the EEr emission is observed in nc-Si:Er. While the PL peak intensitiy of the Enc-Si transition is quenched under this Eex. The resonant-enhanced effect in nc-Si :Er indicates that the energy transfer process of carriers from nc-Si to nearby Er ions is enhanced by resonant excitation.
