Characterization of Amplified Spontaneous Emission from Er^3＋-Doped Tellurite Fibre

We present the characterization of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from newly fabricated Er^3 -doped tellurite fibres.When pumped at 98Ohm,a very broad erbium ASE in the range 1450-1650nm is observed.The changes of ASE with regard to fibre lengths and pumping power were measured.The output of 2mW from an Er^3 -doped tellurite fibre ASE source is obtained with the pump power of 540mW.     

熔石英和磷酸盐钕玻璃表面三角形微裂纹对入射光的散射分析

采用时域有限差分方法(FDTD)模拟了石英玻璃和掺钕磷酸盐激光玻璃表面三角形微裂纹对入射光调制后的分布。TE模式光波入射,最大调制电场幅值出现在玻璃体内部;TM模式光波入射,最大调制电场幅值则发生在裂纹的缝隙中。两种入射光模式下,后表面的调制电场幅值增大倍数在相同裂纹条件下均比前表面大。TE模式入射时,当入射光在裂纹和玻璃表面相继发生全反射时,得到的调制电场幅值最大;后表面最大调制电场幅值随着裂纹在界面投影长度的增加、开口宽度的变大及裂纹深度的增加而分别增大。     

High Efficiency Infrared to Visible Upconversion in Er3＋／yb3＋—Doped Lead Halide Tellurite Glass

Strong upconversion luminescence of Er3 /Yb3 -doped lead halide tellurite glass under 976nm excitation is demonstrated. Three emission bands centred at 525 nm, 545 nm, and 655 nm resulting from the transitionsfrom the excited states 2H11/2, 4S3/2, and 4F9/2 to the ground state 4I15/2, respectively, are observed evenat 60mW pumping power. The power dependent intensity and the upconversion mechanisms responsible forthe luminescence are evaluated and discussed. The obtained results might provide useful information for thedevelopments of upconversion lasers.     

Thermal stability and frequency up-conversion properties of Er~(3+)-doped oxyfluoride tellurite glasses

The thermal properties of 68TeO2-15BaF2-5SrF2-10LaF3-2KF glass were measured by different temperature analysis (DTA). Up-conversion luminescence of Er3 ion in the obtained glass was investigated. Mechanism of up-conversion emission was discussed. The result shows that the obtained oxyfluoride tel-lurite glass 68TeO2-15BaF2-5SrF2-10LaF3-2KF has a good thermal stability (△T = 153.6℃) and strong up-conversion green emissions around 527 nm and 549 nm and red emission at 660 nm. This glass can be a promising host material for up-conversion fiber lasers.     

Spectroscopic Properties of Yb^3＋-doped Germano-Silicate Glasses

We investigate the absorption, stimulated emission cross section and potential laser parameters of Yb^3 doped gernano-silicate glasses (GSY glass). The emission cross section is evaluated by using the measured absorption spectra and the principle of reciprocity. It is found that Yb^3 in GSY glasses has high stimulated emission cross section of 0.5-0.65pm^2 near 1020nm and exists long measured fluorescence lifetime of 1.20-2.00ms. Compared with other glass hosts, the GSY glass exhibits excellent general spectroscopic properties for Yb^3 -doped double-cladding fibres.

Upconversion fluorescence spectroscopy of Er~(3+)-doped lead oxyfluorosilicate glass

Upconversion fluorescence emission of Er3+-doped oxyfluorosilicate glass excited at 975 nm is experimentally investigated. The results reveal that the intense green and red emission, and weak blue emission centered at 525, 543, 655, and 410 nm, respectively. A two-photon upconversion process is assigned to the green and red emission while a three-photon process is responsible for blue upconversion. The possible upconversion mechanisms are discussed based on excited state absorption and energy transfer between excited Er3+ ions. The intense upconversion fluorescence of Er3+-doped lead oxyfluorosilicate glass may be a potentially useful material for developing upconversion optical devices.

Sensitizing effect of Nd3＋ on the Er3＋： 2.7 μm-emission in fluorophosphate glass

Nd3+ strengthens the Er3+:2.7-μm emission 104 times in fluorophosphate glass;in addition,it can also decrease its upconversion effects and the 1.5-μm emission accordingly.Cross-relaxation process is the principal transition mechanism in this codoping system.Compared with Er3+ singly doped glass,JO parameters along with the Arad,β,τR values of Er3+ change markedly in Er3+:Nd3+ codoped glass because Nd3+ greatly in?uences the local environment around Er3+.Results also show that Nd3+ has a good 4I13/2 lifetime quenching effect as well as thermal load reduction ability for Er3+:2.7-μm emission.
