Spectroscopic properties of Er/Yb codoped fluorophosphate glasses

Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ codoped fluorophosphate glasses were prepared and their thermal stabilities, Raman spectra, absorption spectra, and fluorescence spectra were measured. It is found that proper content of NaF or PbF₂ is helpful for the increase of stability against crystallization. The variation of Al(PO₃)₃ or NaF content in the composition affects not the maximum phonon energy but the phonon density. The introduction of PbF₂ decreases the phonon energy slightly. Intense green and red upconversion luminescence was observed for the fluorophosphate glass with low phosphate content. A glass matrix for upconversion luminescence requiring neither expensive raw material nor special atmospheric conditioned preparation is provided. Infrared luminescence around 1530 nm was researched. Fluorophosphate glasses with bandwidth properties and stimulated-emission cross sections better than tellurite, germanate and silicate glasses are obtained. Through the introduction of NaF, the bandwidth properties are decreased. Through the introduction of PbF₂ the gain properties are increased. On the whole, it is difficult to obtain a material with the best gain properties and bandwidth properties simultaneously. There should be a compromise between them according to the demand.     

The effect of silver on the optical,spectral-luminescent,and crystallization properties of bromide photo-thermo-refractive glasses

The effect of silver on the optical, spectral-luminescent, and crystallization properties of bromide photo-thermo-refractive glasses is studied. Multicomponent photosensitive glasses of the Na₂O–ZnO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ system with photosensitizing agents (cerium, antimony, silver) and halogenides (fluorine and bromine) are synthesized. Ultraviolet irradiation and thermal treatment below the glass-transition temperature of the glasses cause the formation of silver molecular clusters, which exhibit luminescence in the visible and infrared regions. UV irradiation and thermal treatment of glasses above the glass-transition temperature lead to the growth of silver nanoparticles with plasmon resonance peak in the region of 420 nm. Further thermal treatment of glasses above the glass-transition temperature shifts the plasmon-resonance maximum by 70 nm to longer wavelengths, which is related to the growth of a crystalline shell consisting of mixed silver and sodium bromides on nanoparticles. This formation of a crystalline phase on colloidal centers results in a local increase in the refractive index of the irradiated region by +Δn ~ 900 ppm compared to the nonirradiated region. Photo-thermo-refractive glasses with increased silver concentration are promising photosensitive materials for creating holographic optical elements and devices for line narrowing and stabilizing filters, spectral beam combiners, and filters for increasing the spectral brightness of laser diodes. A positive change in the refractive index of Photo-thermo-refractive glasses provides the possibility of recording in them 3D waveguide and integrated-optical structures.     

The influence of sodium nanoparticles formation on luminescent properties of fluorophosphate glasses containing molecular clusters and quantum dots of lead selenide

The influence of sodium nanoparticles and secondary heat treatment conditions on the spectralluminescent characteristics of fluorophosphate glasses with PbSe molecular clusters and quantum dots is studied. Experiments with glasses containing no sodium nanoparticles show that their thermal treatment leads to the formation of molecular clusters with subsequent formation of quantum dots having an intense luminescence. The results of numerical simulation for glasses with sodium nanoparticles shows that heat treatment leads to formation of a sodium fluoride shell on the nanoparticles surface. It is shown that quenching of the luminescence of PbSe molecular clusters and quantum dots takes place in these glasses.     

Luminescent properties of cadmium selenide quantum dots in fluorophosphate glasses

The optical properties of fluorophosphate glasses with CdSe quantum dots are studied. Secondary heat treatment at a temperature exceeding the glass transition temperature resulted in the formation of quantum dots with sizes of 3.7–6.2 nm. The influence of the semiconductor component concentration on the spectral-luminescent characteristics of glasses is shown. It is experimentally demonstrated that glasses with a lower CdSe concentration have a higher absolute luminescence quantum yield.     

Influence of borate content on the radiative properties of Nd ions in fluorophosphate glasses

Spectroscopic properties of Nd³⁺ in barium fluoroborophosphate glassy matrix have been analyzed by fitting the experimental data with the standard Judd-Ofelt theory. Various spectroscopic parameters viz. radiative transition probabilities, radiative decay time, fluorescence branching ratios, electric dipole line strengths, stimulated emission cross-sections and optical gain of the principal fluorescence transitions from the ⁴F_3/2 metastable level are obtained. Results show that addition of borate content to the fluorophosphate matrix will reduce the fluorescence spectral properties of Nd³⁺. However, the radiative properties of the present fluoroborophosphate glassy matrix are found to be well improved over that of pure borate and phosphate matrix and is attributed to the influence of fluorine content in the glassy matrix. The changes in the position and the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters are correlated with the structural changes in the host glass matrix. The shift of the hypersensitive band shows that the covalency of the rare earth to oxygen bond increases with the increase of Na₂O content. This covalency effect and the formation of the BO₄ groups with the addition of Na₂O content are responsible for the increase in the radiative properties of the present system. Quantitative estimation of the non-radiative processes such as multiphonon relaxation and quenching by water content was carried out and the results show that both are below the critical level for optimum laser performance.     

Spectroscopic properties of Sm3+ ions in lead fluorophosphate glasses

The Sm³⁺-doped lead fluorophosphate glasses of composition 44P₂O₅–17K₂O–9Al₂O₃–(24?x)PbF₂–6Na₂O–xSm₂O₃, where x=0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mol%, have been prepared by conventional melt quenching technique and are characterized through differential thermal analysis, Raman, absorption and emission spectra and decay rate measurements. Free-ion Hamiltonian model for energy level analysis and Judd–Ofelt theory for spectral intensities have been used to analyze the spectroscopic properties of Sm³⁺ ions in lead fluorophosphate glasses. The decay rates for the ⁴G_5/2 level of Sm³⁺ ions have been measured and are found to be single exponential at lower concentration (≤0.1 mol% Sm₂O₃) and turn into non-exponential at higher concentrations (≥0.5 mol% Sm₂O₃) due to energy transfer through cross-relaxation. The experimental lifetimes for ⁴G_5/2 level of Sm³⁺ ions are found to decrease from 2.54 to 0.92 ms when the concentration increased from 0.01 to 2.0 mol% Sm₂O₃ due to energy transfer. In order to know the nature of the energy transfer mechanism, the non-exponential decay rates are well fitted to Inokuti–Hirayama model for S=6, which indicates that the energy transfer process is of dipole–dipole type.     

Elastic properties of lead-phosphate glasses doped with samarium trioxide

A series of ternary lead-phosphate glasses doped with samarium trioxide, xSm₂O₃-(40−x)PbO-60 P₂O₅ (where x=0.1 to 0.5 mol%) have been prepared by using conventional melt quenching method and their elastic properties have been studied at room temperature. Results from the studies show that both longitudinal and transverse sound velocities decrease by increasing the Sm₂O₃ content. Elastic moduli, Poisson's ratios decrease with increase of Sm₂O₃ composition up to 0.3 mol% and then there is a slight increasing trend observed at 0.4 mol%. The densities of these glasses have been measured by using displacement method. The variations of these parameters have been discussed with respect to samarium trioxide concentration.     

Spectral-luminescent characteristics of fluorophosphate glasses with zinc sulfide nanocrystals

Fluorophosphate glasses doped with ZnS are studied. The properties of ZnS nanocrystals formed are determined using X-ray-diffraction analysis and optical spectroscopy. The size and the band-gap width of these crystals are determined by the Tauc method. It is shown that ZnS nanocrystals luminesce in the visible spectral region with a low (2–3%) absolute quantum yield.     

Optical properties of samarium doped zinc-phosphate glasses

Samarium doped zinc-phosphate glasses having composition Sm₂O_{3 (x)}ZnO_(60−x) P₂O_{5 (40)} (where x=0.1-0.5 mol%) were prepared by melt quenching method. The density of these glasses was measured by Archimedes method; the corresponding molar volumes have also been calculated. The values of density range from 3.34 to 3.87 gm/cm³ and those of molar volume range from 27.62 to 31.80 cm⁻³. The optical absorbance studies were carried out on these glasses to measure their energy band gaps. The absorption spectra of these glasses were recorded in UV-visible region. No sharp edges were found in the optical spectra, which verifies the amorphous nature of these glasses. The optical band gap energies for these glasses were found to be in the range of 2.89-4.20 eV. The refractive index and polarizability of oxide ion have been calculated by using Lorentz-Lorentz relations. The values of refractive index range from 2.13 to 2.42 and those of polarizability of oxide ion range from 6.51×10⁻²⁴ to 7.80×10⁻²⁴ cm³.     

Spectroscopic properties of Tm3+ in fluorophosphate glasses

The optical properties of Tm³⁺ in a fluorophosphate glass are reported. Oscillator strengths and Ω_λ parameters for Tm³⁺ were calculated. Energy transfer between Ce³⁺ → Tm³⁺, Tm³⁺ → Eu³⁺ and Tm³⁺ → Tb³⁺ were measured at room temperature and interpreted using the Yokota and Tanimoto scheme. Fluorescence decay results seem to support the hypothesis of a diffusion-limited relaxation. The effects of Tb³⁺ and especially Ce³⁺ on the fluorescence of Tm³⁺ ion point out the interest of these dopants for obtaining a better emission of Tm³⁺ at 450 nm.     

Optical properties of structurally modified glasses doped with gold ions

We report on the optical properties of a structurally modified silicate glass doped with Au ions. The area in the vicinity of the focal point of an 800-nm femtosecond laser in a glass sample became gray as a result of the formation of color centers after laser irradiation and turned red because of precipitation of Au nanoparticles after further annealing at 550 degrees C for 30 min. When the glass was excited by UV light at 365 nm, yellowish-white and orange-yellow emissions were observed in the laser-irradiated and the Au-nanoparticle-precipitated area, respectively. An optical Kerr shutter experiment showed that the Au nanoparticle-precipitated glass had an ultrafast nonlinear optical response, and the third-order nonlinear susceptibility was estimated to be approximately 10(-11) esu.

Spectroscopic properties of Mn2+ in new bismuth and lead contained fluorophosphate glasses

Luminescence, absorption and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopic measurements are performed for two new Mn²⁺ doped fluorophosphate glass systems containing bismuth and lead, respectively, i.e., 45Ba(PO₃)₂-55BiF₃ and 45Ba(PO₃)₂-55PbF₂, to elucidate the nature of dopant–ligand bonding in terms of the covalence degree of dopant–ligand bond and ligand field strength. It is found from luminescence measurements that an octahedral coordination of dopant is formed, which is the same as that in fluoroberyllate and phosphate glasses. The optical absorption measurements indicate that the position of the absorption band, ⁴T_1g(G), is red shifted, and the Racah coefficient B is 625 and 627 cm^-1, respectively, as ligand field strength increases in the order of fluoroberyllate, fluorophosphate, phosphate and silicate glasses. The hfs constant A determined from the ESR measurements is 94.33 and 92.12 Oe for two glass systems, respectively. The hfs constant A is also found to be 89.98 Oe and 94.33 Oe in the respective crystalline and glasses 45P₂O₅-55BiF₃. In addition, the resonance observed at g2 in both glass systems is mainly attributed to Mn²⁺ ions in an environment close to octahedral symmetry distorted by agglomeration of resonant centers. It, thus, can be concluded from the ESR measurements that the degree of covalency of dopant–ligand bond in both fluoroberyllate and phosphate glasses is similar, and the crystallization of the glass leads to an increase in the degree of covalency of the ligand–Mn²⁺ bond.

Ce3+对Er3+/Yb3+共掺氟磷酸盐玻璃光谱性质的影响

研究了能量接受离子Ce3+对Er3+上转换发光强度以及Er3+在1.5 μm附近波段发光性能参数的影响,并从能量匹配及能级结构角度出发对Er3+/Ce3+间的能量转移机制进行了分析.分析认为,4 I11/2能级的Er3+通过无辐射能量转移把能量传递给2F5/2能级的Ce3+激发其跃迁至2F7/2能级,而4I11/2能级上的Er3+则无辐射弛豫至4I13/2能级,从而有效降低氟磷酸盐玻璃中Er3+的上转换发光.当Er3+浓度为1.11×1020 cm-3时,Ce3+的最佳掺杂浓度为2.22×1020 cm-3,此时Ce3+的引入不仅可以降低上转换发光,而且有助于提高Er3+在1.5 μm附近波段的荧光强度、发射截面以及4I13/2能级荧光寿命.     

Electrical conduction and dielectric properties of vanadium phosphate glasses doped with lithium

AC conductivity and dielectric studies on vanadium phosphate glasses doped with lithium have been carried out in the frequency range 0.2-100 kHz and temperature range 290-493 K. The frequency dependence of the conductivity at higher frequencies in glasses obeys a power relationship, σ_ac=Aω^s. The obtained values of the power s lie in the range 0.5≤s≤1 for both undoped and doped with low lithium content which confirms the electron hopping between V⁴⁺ and V⁵⁺ ions. For doped glasses with high lithium content, the values of s≤0.5 which confirm the domination of ionic conductivity. The study of frequency dependence of both dielectric constant and dielectric loss showed a decrease with increasing frequency while they increase with increasing temperature. The results have been explained on the basis of frequency assistance of electron hopping besides the ionic polarization of the glasses. The bulk conductivity increases with increasing temperature whereas decreases with increasing lithium content which means a reduction of the V⁵⁺.
