Spectroscopic properties of neodymium-doped tellurite glass fiber

Nd~(3+)-doped tellurite glass and a single mode tellurite glass fiber with a core diameter of 8 μm were prepared in this work. The 1.33-μm emission from the ~4F_(3/2)→~4I_(13/2) transition of Nd~(3+) with a spectral bandwidth of 55 nm in tellurite glass fiber is observed. The lifetime of 164 μs of ~4F_(3/2) level and quantum efficiency of about 100% are obtained.     

Amplified spontaneous emission properties of a single mode Er3+-doped tellurite fiber

Spectral characteristics of the amplified spontaneous emission(ASE)from a novel single mode Er3+ doped tellurite fiber with D-type cladding is reported in this letter.When pumped at 980 nm,an ASE source that has nearly a 100-nm flat FWHM bandwidth is obtained with a fiber length of 30-60 cm. Variation of ASE spectra with pump powers and fiber lengths are measured.Output power up to 2.0 mW is obtained with a launched pump power of 660 mW.     

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.     

2-μm emission performance of Tm~(3+)-Ho~(3+) co-doped tellurite glasses

The emission properties of 2-μm region fluorescence of Tm~(3+)-Ho~(3+) co-doped tellurite glasses are investigated. Introducing F~- ions to the composition of tellurite glasses plays a positive effect on the 2-μm emission.A maximum intensity of 2-μm emission is achieved when 1.5-mol%Tm_2O_3 and l-mol% Ho_2_O3 concentration are doped in the glasses.The emission cross section and gain coefficient of the ~5I_8→~5I_7 transition of Ho~(3+) are calculated.The emission cross section has a maximum of 1.29×10~(-2...     

锗酸盐玻璃中Yb3+/Tm3+/Ho3+掺杂浓度对2 μm发光的影响

为了研究锗酸盐玻璃中采用Yb3+/Tm3+/Ho3+三掺杂方式实现2 μm激光的可行性,研究了3种稀土离子的掺杂浓度对近2 μm发光的影响,从而对稀土离子掺杂浓度进行优化选择以确定理想的掺杂浓度.实验结果表明,在TmF3掺杂摩尔分数为1%时,随着Yb3+浓度的提高Ho3+的2 μm荧光强度增强;当TmF3掺杂摩尔分数为3%时,随着Yb3+浓度的提高Ho3+的2 μm荧光强度降低;随着Yb3+浓度的提高,Tm3+的近2 μm荧光发射会得到增强,且当Tm3+浓度较高时其发光更为明显,这相对削弱了Ho3+的2 μm荧光.Ho3+2 μm发光受Tm3+/Ho3+的浓度比值影响很大,即用980 nm光抽运三掺杂样品,无论Tm3+浓度单一提高还是Ho3+浓度单一降低,对于Ho3+的2μm荧光都是不利的.     

2-μm fluorescence and Raman spectra in high and low Al（PO3）3 content fluorophosphate glasses doped with Er-Tm-Ho

Thermal stability and 2μm fluorescence of high and low Al（POa）3 content of fluorophosphate glasses are investigated. Thermal stability of high Al（PO3）3 content of fluorophosphate glass is better than low Al（PO3）3 content of fluorophosphate glass. However, 2.04-μm fluorescence intensity of high Al（PO3）3 content of fluorophosphate glass is only 48.2, lower than low AI（PO3）3 content of fluorophosphate glass. Raman spectroscopy is employed to investigate the difference in thermal stability and 2-μm fluorescence. Moreover, fuorescence peak intensity ratios of 2.04 to 1.81 μm and 2.04 to 1.57μm are calculated, which indicate that Er-Tm-Ho doped fluorophosphate glasses are suitable materials in 2μm applications.     

Blue Upconversion Luminescence in Tm^3＋／Yb^3＋-Codoped Lead Chloride Tellurite Glass

The upconversion properties of Tm^3 /Yb3 -codoped lead chloride tellurite glass under 980hm excitation were investigated. The intense blue (476nm) emission and weak red (649 nm) emission corresponding to the ^1G4→4 ^3H6 and ^1G4→^3H4 transitions of Tm^3 ions, respectively, were simultaneously observed at room temperature. The dependence of upconversion intensities on excitation power and the possible upconversion mechanisms are evaluated. The intense blue upconversion luminescence of Tm^3 /Yb^3 -codoped lead chloride tellurite glass can be used as potential host material for the development of blue upconversion optical devices.     

Fluorescence Lifetime Increasing with F- Ions into Ytterbium-Doped Germanium-Lead-Tellurite Glasses

The effects of F^- ions in a germanium-lead-tellurite glass system on the spectral and potential laser properties of the Yb^3 are investigated. The absorption spectra, lifetimes, the emission cross-sections and the minimum pump intensities of the glass system with and without F^- ions have been measured and calculated. The results show that the fluorescence lifetime and the minimum pump intensity of Yb^3 ions increase evidently, which indicatesthat germanium-lead-oxyfluoride tellurite glass is a promising laser host matrix for high power generation. FT-IRspectra were used to analyse the effect of F^- ions on OH^- groups in this glass system. Analysis demonstrates that addition of fluoride removes the OH^- groups and results in improvement of fluorescence lifetime of Yb^3 .
