2 μm emission properties and nonresonant energy transfer of Er3+ and Ho3+ codoped silicate glasses

چکیده
2.0 μm emission properties of Er3+/Ho3+ codoped silicate glasses were investigated pumped by 980 nm LD. Absorption spectra were determined. Intense mid-infrared emissions near 2 μm are observed. The spectral components of the 2 μm fluorescence band were analyzed and an equivalent model of four-level system was proposed to describe broadband 2 μm emission. Low OH- absorption coefficient (0.23 cm-1), high fluorescence lifetime (2.95 ms) and large emission cross section (5.61 × 10-21 cm2) corresponding to Ho3+: 5I7→5I8 transition were obtained from the prepared glass. Additionally, energy transfer efficiency from the Er3+: 4I13/2 to the Ho3+: 5I7 level can reach as high as 85.9% at 0.75 mol% Ho2O3 doping concentration. Energy transfer microscopic parameters (CDA) via the host-assisted spectral overlap function were also calculated to elucidate the observed 2 μm emissions in detail. Moreover, the rate equation model between Er3+ and Ho3+ ions was developed to elucidate 2 μm fluorescence behaviors with the change of Ho3+ concentration. All results reveal that Er3+/Ho3+ codoped silicate glass is a promising material for improving the Ho3+ 2.0 μm fiber laser performance.

Superbroadband near-infrared emission and energy transfer in Pr3+-Er3+ codoped fluorotellurite glasses.
We report the first demonstration of superbroadband emission extending from 1.30 to 1.68 μm in praseodymium(Pr(3+))-erbium(Er(3+)) codoped fluorotellurite glasses under 488 nm excitation. This superbroad near-infrared emission is contributed by the Pr(3+): (1)D(2)→(1)G(4) and Er(3+): (4)I(13/2)→(4)I(15/2) transitions which lead to emissions located at 1.48 and 1.53 μm, respectively. The quenchi...

Er3+-doped fluorozirconate (ZrF4-BaF2-YF3-AlF3) and oxyfluoroaluminate glasses are successfully prepared here. These glasses exhibit significant superiority compared with traditional fluorozirconate glass (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF) because of their higher temperature of glass transition and better resistance to water corrosion. Judd-Ofelt (J-O) intensity parameters are evaluated and used to comp...
