A broadband fluorescence emission ranging from 1 250 nm to 1 530 nm was obtained under the excitation of 808 nm LD, which is contributed by the Pr3+:1 D2 →1 G4 and Nd3+:4 F3/2→4 I13/2 transitions emitting the fluorescence located at around 1.47 μm and 1.35 μm bands, respectively. The 1.47 μm band fluorescence of Pr3+ is attributed to the energy transfer from Nd3+ to Pr3+ ions and the energy transfer mechanism was further investigated by calculating relevant micro-parameter and phonon contribution ratio. Meanwhile, the studied tellurite glass possesses good thermal stability. The present work indicates that Pr3+/Nd3+ codoped tellurite glass is an excellent gain medium for potential O+E+S-band broad optical amplifiers.展开更多
WO_3 oxides with relatively high phonon energy and different concentrations were introduced into the Nd^(3+)-doped tellurite-based glasses of Te O_2-Zn O-Na_2 O to improve the 1.32 μm band fluorescence emission. The ...WO_3 oxides with relatively high phonon energy and different concentrations were introduced into the Nd^(3+)-doped tellurite-based glasses of Te O_2-Zn O-Na_2 O to improve the 1.32 μm band fluorescence emission. The absorption spectra,Raman spectra,1.32 μm band fluorescence spectra and differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) curves were measured,together with the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters,stimulated emission and gain parameters were calculated to evaluate the effects of WO_3 amount on the glass structure and spectroscopic properties of 1.32 μm band fluorescence. It is shown that the introduction of an appropriate amount of WO_3 oxide can effectively improve the 1.32 μm band fluorescence intensity through the enhanced multi-phonon relaxation(MPR) processes between the excited levels of Nd^(3+). The results indicate that the prepared Nd^(3+)-doped tellurite glass with an appropriate amount of WO_3 oxide is a potential gain medium applied for the O-band broad and high-gain fiber amplifier.展开更多
