Effect of B2O3 on the spectroscopic properties in Er3+/Ce3+ co-doped tellurite-niobium glass

The high phonon energy oxide of B2O3 is introduced into the Er3+/Ce3+co-doped tellurite-niobium glasses with composition of TeO2-Nb2O5-ZnO-Na2O.The absorption spectra,1.53 μm band fluorescence spectra,fluorescence lifetime and Raman spectra of Er3+in glass samples are measured together with the calculations of Judd-Ofelt spectroscopic parameter,stimulated emission and absorption cross-sections,which evaluate the effect of B2O3 on the 1.53 μm band spectroscopic properties of Er3+.It is shown that the introduction of an appropriate amount of B2O3 can further improve the 1.53 μm band fluorescence intensity through an enhanced phonon-assisted energy transfer(ET) between Er3+/Ce3+ions.The results indicate that the prepared Er3+/Ce3+co-doped tellurite-niobium glass with an appropriate amount of B2O3 is a potential gain medium for the 1.53 μm bandbroad erbium-doped fiber amplifier(EDFA).

对应用于1.55μm波段宽带放大的掺Er3 :Bi2O3-GeO2-Ga2O3-Na2O(玻璃中激发态吸收的抑制进行了研究.为此,在该玻璃中分别引入了Ce3 离子和B2O3组分.研究表明,随着玻璃中Ce2O3的掺杂或B2O3组分的引入, Er3 4:I11/2能级与Ce3 2:F5/2能级间的能量传递或Er3 4:I11/2→4I13/2能级间多声子弛豫速率相应提高, Er3 离子4I11/2能级荧光寿命显著减小,激发态吸收得到有效抑制.同时,实验发现, Ce2O3的掺杂进一步提高了Er3 离子4I13/2→415/2能级间总量子效率,增强了1.55μm波段荧光发射强度,而荧光发射谱宽基本保持不变. B2O3组分的引入虽在一定程度上削弱了1.55μm波段荧光发射强度,但进一步拓展了其荧光发射谱,且增益截面峰值波长移向长波段.     

Enhanced 1.32 µm fluorescence and broadband amplifying for O-band optical amplifier in Nd3+-doped tellurite glass

WO3 oxides with relatively high phonon energy and different concentrations were introduced into the Nd3+-doped tellurite-based glasses of TeO2-ZnO-Na2O 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 WO3 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 WO3 oxide can effectively improve the 1.32 µm band fluorescence intensity through the enhanced multi-phonon relaxation (MPR) processes between the excited levels of Nd3+. The results indicate that the prepared Nd3+-doped tellurite glass with an appropriate amount of WO3 oxide is a potential gain medium applied for the O-band broad and high-gain fiber amplifier.

Ag NPs induced near-infrared emission enhancement of Er3+/Tm3+ codoped tellurite glass

Ag nanoparticles(NPs) were introduced into Er³⁺/Tm³⁺ codoped tellurite glasses prepared using melt-quenching and heat-treated techniques. The glass samples were characterized by the differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and photoluminescence to reveal the Ag NPs induced broadband near-infrared band emission enhancement of Er³⁺/Tm³⁺ ions. The studied glasses possessed good thermal stability with△T larger than 137 ℃. For glass sample heat-treated at 360 ℃ for 6 h, the nucleated Ag NPs in near-spherical shape with an average diameter about 6.5 nm dispersed in the glass matrix. Under the excitation of 808 nm laser diode(LD), the broadband near-infrared fluorescence emission extending from 1 350 nm to 1 620 nm, owing to the combined contributions from the ³H₄→³F₄ transition of Tm³⁺ at 1.47 μm band and the ⁴I_13/2→⁴I_15/2 transition of Er³⁺ at 1.53 μm band, improved significantly with the introduction of Ag NPs, which is mainly attributed to the increased local electric field. The present results indicate that Er³⁺/Tm³⁺/Ag NPs codoped tellurite glass with good thermal stability is a promising glass material for broadband fiber amplifiers of WDM transmission systems.
