Comparative study of spectroscopic properties of Er^3＋／Yb^3＋-codoped tellurite glass and fibres under 980nm excitation＊

A tellurite fibre of TeO_{2}－ZnO－La_{2}O_{3}－Li_{2}O glass codoped with 20000 ppm ytterbium and 5000 ppm erbium was fabricated by the suction casting and rod-in-tube technologies. The absorption spectrum of Er^{3+}/Yb^{3+} -codoped bulk glass has been measured. From the Judd－Ofelt intensity parameters, the spontaneous emission probability and radiative lifetime τ_{rad} of Er^{3+}:{}^{4}I_{13/2}→{}^{4}I_{15/2} transition for the bulk glass have been calculated. The emission fluorescence spectra and lifetimes around 1.5μm, and subsequent upconversion fluorescence in the range of 500－700nm were measured in fibres and compared with those in bulk glass. The changes in amplified spontaneous emission with fibre length and pumping power was also measured. It was found that the emission spectrum from erbium in fibres is almost twice as broad as the corresponding spectrum in bulk glass when pumped at 980nm.     

Mixed heavy metal effect on emission properties of Er~(3+)-doped borosilicate glasses

Er3+-doped heavy metal borosilicate glasses were prepared using conventional melting and quenching method. The emission spectra of 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition were observed upon excitation at 974 nm and the lifetime of 4I13/2 level of Er3+ was measured. Based on these data, the fluorescence properties of Er3+ are investigated on the emission and gain characteristics at the 1.5 μm bands. In particular, the effect of relative heavy metal content on fluorescence properties is discussed.

Multi—Rare—Earth Ions Codoped Tellurite Glasses for Potential Dual Wavelength Fibre—Optic Amplifiers

A novel co-doping method of multi-rare-earth (RE) ions was demonstrated in tellurite glasses for fibe amplifiers.Fluorescence emissions at both 1.53 and 1.63μm communication windows were firstly observed from Er^3 /Yb^3 /Tm^3 -codoped tellurite glasses under a single wavelength pumping at 980nm.The full width at half maximum of fluorescence at 1.53 and 1.63μm are 55nm and 50nm,respectively.This codoping method of three RE ions could be applied to other low photon energy glasses,which would be possibly used for potential dual wavelength fibre-optic amplifiers to broaden the communication windows.
