铒离子浓度对掺铒光纤光源性能影响研究

研究了铒离子掺杂浓度对掺铒光纤光源的泵浦效率和波长稳定性的影响.在设计好的单程后向光源中采用5种不同类型的光纤分别进行了实验,通过比较采用不同光纤时掺铒光纤光源的输出特性发现掺铒光纤光源的泵浦效率随铒离子浓度增大而先增大;铒离子浓度过高时存在群聚效应,光源泵浦效率反而下降,群聚效应使泵浦效率下降了20%.泵浦阈值则随着铒离子浓度的增加从18.3 mW增加到了32.4 mW.通过试验发现光纤优化长度依比例决定于掺铒光纤中的铒离子浓度,而泵浦波长与光源波长的关系却不受铒离子浓度影响.比较采用不同铒离子浓度光纤的光源的小范围温度特性,较低浓度的光纤温度稳定性好于高浓度的温度稳定性将近100 ppm.通过实验确定掺铒光纤中最适宜的铒离子浓度在110 mol左右.

Luminescent properties and energy transfer processes of co-doped Yb–Er poly-crystalline YAG matrix

A poly-crystalline YAG matrix was obtained through the precipitation method; this matrix was single and co-doped with ytterbium and erbium ions, i.e., Yb:YAG, Er:YAG and Yb,Er:YAG. It is found that the measured luminescent properties are similar to those reported for a mono-crystal YAG matrix. In addition, by studying the energy transfer processes in co-doped samples, it is shown that at high erbium concentrations the red emission is enhanced through an up-conversion process that takes place from the ⁴I_13/2 to the ⁴F_9/2 state of erbium ions. This enhanced red emission becomes comparable in intensity to the observed green emission and occurs by pumping at 800 nm through a back energy transfer process.

Gain and noise figure enhancement of Er+3/Yb+3 co-doped fiber/Raman hybrid amplifier

An Er/Yb co-doped fiber/Raman hybrid amplifier (HA) is proposed and studied theoretically and analytically to improve the gain and noise figure of optical amplifiers. The calculations are performed under a uniform dopant and steady-state conditions. The initial energy transfer efficiency for Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifier (EYDFA) is introduced, while the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is neglected. The glass fiber used for both Er/Yb and Raman amplifiers is phosphate. Different pump powers are used for both EYDFA and RA with 1 μW input signal power, 1 m length of Er/Yb amplifier and 25 km length of Raman amplifier (RA). The proposed model is validated for Er/Yb co-doped amplifier and Raman amplifier separately by comparing the calculating results with the experimental data. A high gain and low noise figure at 200 mW Raman pump power and 500 mW Er/Yb pump power are obtained for the proposed HA as compared with the experimental results of EYDFA, Raman amplifier and the EDFA/Raman hybrid amplifier.     

Effects of Yb<Superscript>3+</Superscript> and Er<Superscript>3+</Superscript> concentrations and doping procedure on excitation transfer efficiency in Er-Yb doped phosphosilicate fibers

We have studied the effects of preform fabrication procedure and ytterbium and erbium concentrations on the efficiency of excitation transfer from Yb³⁺ to Er³⁺ and lasing on erbium transitions in the range 1.53–1.61 μm in phosphosilicate glass fibers. The results indicate that the fabrication of fiber preforms by different MCVD-based processes has no effect on the excitation transfer efficiency. In the ranges 0.07–0.4wt % Er³⁺ and ∼ 0.4–8 wt % Yb³⁺ (Yb/Er ratio from ∼ 5 to 40), the excitation transfer efficiency is determined by the ytterbium concentration and is essentially independent of erbium concentration.     

Photoluminescence properties of the Yb:Er co-doped Al2O3 thin film fabricated by microwave ECR plasma source enhanced RF magnetron sputtering

The Yb:Er co-doped Al₂O₃ thin film was deposited on oxidized silicon wafers by microwave ECR plasma source enhanced RF magnetron sputtering, and annealed from 800 °C to 1000 °C. The photoluminescence at 1.53 μm of thin film was obtained under room temperature. The mixture phase structure of γ and θ is observed by XRD, and the compositions of the thin film are investigated by EPMA. The maximum PL intensity was achieved with O₂:Ar at 1:1, annealing temperature at 900 °C, and experimental ratio of Yb:Er at 1:3.6. The energy transfer mechanism between Er and Yb ions is supported by theoretical analysis and experiment results.     

Ultraviolet upconversion fluorescence of Er3+ in Yb3+/Er3+-codoped Gd2O3 nanotubes

Under 980 nm excitation, room-temperature ultraviolet (UV) upconversion (UC) emissions of Er3+ from the 4G(9/2), 2K(13/2), and 2P(3/2) states were observed in Gd2O3:Yb3+/Er3+ nanotubes, which were synthesized via a simple wet-chemical route at low temperature and ambient pressure followed by a subsequent heat treatment at 800 degrees C. The experimental results exhibited that these UV emissions came from four-photon UC processes. In the Gd2O3:Yb3+/Er3+ nanocrystals, the energy transfers (ETs) from Yb3+ to Er3+ played important roles in populating the high-energy states of Er3+ ions. This material provides a possible candidate for building UV compact solid-state lasers or fiber lasers.
