The effect of La2O3 in Tm3+-doped germanate-tellurite glasses for ~2 μm emission

چکیده
A germanate-tellurite glass (GeO2-TeO₂-K₂O-Nb₂O₅-La₂O₃) with thulium doping has been investigated for application as a laser material around 2.0 μm regions. Under the 808 nm laser diode pumped, intense 1.8 μm emission is obtained. Based on the absorption spectra, radiative properties are predicted using Judd-Ofelt theory. The maximum value of emission cross-section of Tm(3+) around 1.8 μm can reach 1.46 × 10(-20) cm(2), which indicated that the germanate-tellurite glass may provide high gain as a good medium for efficient 1.8 μm laser system.

Frequency upconversion emissions in layered lead–germanate–tellurite glasses for three-color display
This letter is aiming to develop a full-color glass for the three-dimensional and three-color display. The Yb/Tm/Er codoped lead–germanate–tellurite bulk glass has been fabricated and the upconversion emissions have been investigated. The reduced blue and green emission intensity suggests that it is difficult to achieve three-color display in the multiple-rare-earth ions doped glass. Then a two...

Er(3+) activated germanate glasses modified by La2O3 and Y2O3 with good thermal stability were prepared. 2.7 μm fluorescence was observed and corresponding radiative properties were investigated. A detailed discussion of J-O parameters has been carried out based on absorption spectra and Judd-Ofelt theory. The peak emission cross sections of La2O3 and Y2O3 modified germanate glass are (14.3 ± 0...

متن کاملStudy of broadband near-infrared emission in Tm3+-Er3+ codoped TeO2-WO3-PbO glasses.
In this work, we report the near-infrared emission properties of Tm(3+)-Er(3+) codoped tellurite TeO(2)-WO(3)-PbO glasses under 794 nm excitation. A broad emission from 1350 to 1750 nm corresponding to the Tm(3+) and Er(3+) emissions is observed. The full width at half-maximum of this broadband increases with increasing [Tm]/[Er] concentration ratio up to a value of ~ 160 nm. The energy transfe...
