Planar waveguides in neodymium-doped calcium niobium gallium garnet crystals produced by proton implantation

In this work, the fabrication and optical properties of a planar waveguide in a neodymium-doped calcium niobium gallium garnet(Nd:CNGG) crystal are reported. The waveguide is produced by proton(H~+) implantation at 480 ke V and a fluence of 1.0×10~(17) ions/cm~2. The prism-coupling measurement is performed to obtain the dark mode of the waveguide at a wavelength of 632.8nm. The reflectivity calculation method(RCM) is used to reconstruct the refractive index profile. The finite-difference beam propagation method(FD-BPM) is employed to calculate the guided mode profile of the waveguide.The stopping and range of ions in matter 2010(SRIM 2010) code is used to simulate the damage profile induced by the ion implantation. The experimental and theoretical results indicate that the waveguide can confine the light propagation.     

Spectroscopic properties of Yb~(3+)-doped TeO_2–BaO–BaF_2–Nb_2O_5-based oxyfluoride tellurite glasses

A series of oxyfluoride glasses with the compositions of 75 mol% TeO2, 10 mol% Nb2O5,(15 mol%-x) BaO, x BaF2(x = 0 mol%, 5 mol%, 10 mol%, 15 mol%) doped with Yb2O3 were prepared by the melt-quenching method. Their emission cross-sections, fluorescence lifetimes, and gain properties were investigated by using the absorption spectra and the fluorescence decay curves. The results show that by substituting BaF2 for BaO, the emission cross-section decreases from 1.37 pm2 to 1.21 pm2, and the fluorescence lifetime increases from 0.71 ms to 0.96 ms. These properties indicate that this oxyfluoride tellurite glass may have potential uses as the Yb2O3-doped gain medium in a solid laser.

采用高温固相法在1 150℃下经二次煅烧合成了双钙钛矿型的红色荧光粉Sr₂ZnTeO₆∶xEu³⁺（x=0.05-0.40）,并进行了相组成、发光性质和热稳定性的研究。结果表明,所合成的Sr₂ZnTeO₆与Sr₂ZnWO₆具有相同的结构,掺杂离子的加入没有改变相结构。样品的激发光谱由电荷迁移带和Eu³⁺离子的特征激发峰组成,主激发峰位于464 nm（⁷F₀→⁵L₆）。样品的发射光谱位于614 nm（⁵D₀→⁷F₂）。Sr₂ZnTeO₆∶xEu³⁺荧光粉的发光强度随着Eu³⁺离子的掺杂,先增大后减小,在x≥0.25时,发生浓度猝灭现象。通过变温荧光发现它具有非常好的热稳定性。由于荧光粉的最佳激发位于464 nm,因而可以用于蓝光激发下的白光LED的红色荧光粉。
