Ultra-broad near-infrared emission of Bi-doped SiO2 Al2O3 GeO2 optical fibers

Bi-doped SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 –GeO 2 fiber preforms are prepared by modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) and solution doping process. The characteristic spectra of the preforms and fibers are experimentally investigated, and a distinct difference in emission between the two is observed.

Broadband near-infrared luminescence in bismuth borate glasses

We report the results of our investigation on the optical properties of the bismuth borate glass (75B₂O₃-25Bi₂O₃). Unusual near-infrared (NIR) and visible band luminescence was observed when the sample was excited by lasers working at 532 and 808 nm. The NIR fluorescent lifetime of the sample measured at room-temperature was longer than two hundred microseconds. This indicated that this glass system could be a new candidate for the broadband optical amplification and laser material covering the wavelength from 1100 to 1300 nm. The influences of preparation conditions and glass compositions on the luminescence properties of glasses were investigated. It was found that the heat-treatment under air and hydrogen atmosphere can both weaken the infrared luminescence of the materials. Furthermore, with the addition of oxidation agent CeO₂, the sample did not show any NIR luminescence upon the excitation of the lasers working at 532 or 808 nm. All the results indicated that the infrared luminescence center should be Bi⁺ ions.     

Superbroadband 1310 nm emission from bismuth and tantalum codoped germanium oxide glasses

Near-infrared broadband emission from bismuth-tantalum-codoped germanium oxide glasses was observed at room temperature when the glasses were pumped by an 808 nm laser diode. The emission band covered the O, E, S, C, and L bands (1260-1625 nm), with a maximum peak at approximately 1310 nm, a FWHM broader than 400 nm, and a lifetime longer than 200 micros. The observed broadband luminescence was attributed to bismuth clusters in the glasses. Bismuth-tantalum-codoped germanium oxide glass might be promising as amplification media for broadly tunable lasers and wideband amplifiers in optical communications.

Fabrication and characteristics of silica optical fiber doped with InP nano-semiconductor material

We fabricated a novel special silica optical fiber doped with nano-semiconductor material InP in double cladding layers by using conventional modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process. During the deposition process, InP powder was placed at the entrance of silica substrate tube and vaporized by high temperature. With the help of nitrogen gas flow, the vaporized InP was carried into silica substrate tube and deposited on the inner surface in the form of nano-particle. The physical structure and amplification characteristics of the special fiber were investigated. From the refractive index distribution of the preform, we can observe obvious increase in inner cladding index, which attributes to InP dopant. By using 532 nm LD as pump, a broadband amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) was demonstrated in the wavelength range from 1,080 to 1,350 nm. The proposed nano- semiconductor doped fiber with optical amplification is expected to a wide application in optical fiber communications.     

Nd~(3+)/Yb~(3+)共掺磷酸盐玻璃光纤的发光与激光特性研究

以970 nm和808 nm半导体激光器作为抽运源,从光纤长度和抽运功率两个方面,探讨了Nd~(3+)/Yb~(3+)摩尔浓度比约为4:1的共掺磷酸盐玻璃光纤的发光与激光特性.在970 nm抽运下,光纤光谱以Yb~(3+)离子的发光为主,但Yb~(3+)→Nd~(3+)能量传递会对光纤光谱(激光和受激放大自发辐射)产生调制作用,调制作用随970 nm抽运功率或光纤长度的增加而显著,甚至出现显著的双波长激光现象.尽管玻璃样品中Nd~(3+)→Yb~(3+)的能量传递效率ηNd→Yb高达64%,但在808 nm抽运下,激光峰始终在1053 nm附近产生,且与808 nm抽运功率大小和光纤长度无关.为解释这一现象,推导了考虑Nd~(3+)离子受激辐射的能量传递模型.从理论模型来看,Nd~(3+)→Yb~(3+)能量传递作用随Nd~(3+)离子受激辐射信号光强度的增加而迅速减弱,这与该光纤实际测试的荧光光谱随808 nm抽运功率的变化规律相符合.因此,当采用Nd~(3+)离子来敏化Yb~(3+)离子时,需要考虑Nd~(3+)离子的受激辐射对Nd~(3+)→Yb~(3+)能量传递的抑制作用.
