Investigation on Preparation and Fluorescence Properties of Oxy-Fluoride Glass Co-Doped with Er^3＋ and Yb^3＋

The glass sample based on the composition of 45PbF2-45GeO2-10WO3 co-doped with Yb^3 /Er^3 was prepared by the fusion method in two steps : melted at 950℃ for 20～25min then annealed at 380℃ for 4 h. Through the V-prism it is found that the refractive index of host glass and the sample are 1.517 and 1.65 respectively. The transmittance was observed by using the ultraviolet-visible-infrared spectrometer in the wavelength range from 0.35 to 2.5μm. The transmittance of the host glass is beyond 73%. That of the sample is beyond 50% and there are characteristic absorption peaks of rare-earth ions. The emission spectrum was measured by using the Hitachi F-4500 fluorescent spectrometer pumped by 980nm semiconductor laser. There are a strong emission peak at 530 nm and a weak peak at 650 nm.
