2.75 μm spectroscopic properties and energy transfer mechanism in Er/Ho codoped fluorotellurite glasses
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract We report a detailed spectroscopic investigation of a series of fluorotellurite glasses with different Er3+ ions concentration in system 50TeO2-27BaF2-9ZnF2-8YF3-3MgF2-3NaF-xErF3-1HoF3(x = 1,2,3 mol%). Intense 2 μm emission and 2.75 μm emission with high absorption and emission cross-section were observed under 980 nm LD pumping, and the maximum gain coefficient around 2750 nm was as high as 2.41 cm−1, suggesting the prepared glasses are a competitive candidate for mid-infrared laser materials. Besides, it was found that the trend of 2 μm and 2.75 μm emission intensity varied with Er3+ ions concentration was different. Energy transfer process was discussed subsequently to explain this phenomenon. Furthermore, we quantitatively investigate the energy transfer efficiency from Er3+: 4I13/2 level to Ho3+: 5I7 level.
