| Abstract: | Er3+-doped fluoride lanthanum aluminosilicate glasses with compositions of (65- x/2)SiO2 · (25 -and their glass transition temperatures and spectroscopic properties were investigated. The Ω2, Ω4, and Ω6 intensity parameters of glasses were calculated by Judd-Ofelt theory from absorption curves. It was found that glasses transition temperature and melting temperature decreased with the increase of fluoride content in glass, Ω2 decreased gradually with the increase of AlF3 content, but both Ω4 and Ω6 did not increase until AlF3 content increased to 30 mol%. The quantum efficiency of 4I13/2 to 4I15/2 transition of Er3+ ions increases with the increase of AlF3 content in glass. Fluorescent lifetime is longer in glass containing more AlFa content. |
