Abstract:Germanate-tellurite glasses with the molar compositions of x GeO2-(70-x) TeO2-5K2O-5Na2O-10Nb2O5-10ZnO-0.2Er2O3 (x=0,10, 25, 50, 70) have been investigated for developing 1.5μm fiber and planar amplifiers. Effects of GeO2 on the thermal stability and optical properties of Er3+-doped germanate-tellurite glasses have been discussed. It is noted that the thermal stability of the glasses are improved and the maximum phonon energy are increased by increasing GeO2. Adding GeO2 increases the Judd-Ofelt parameters Ω2,… Show more
“…Figure 2 gives the logarithmic dependence of peak intensity of green and red up-conversion emissions centred at about 534, 549, and 663 nm as a function of pump power. For our Er 3+ -doped silicate glass, the up-conversion emission intensity (I up ) is proportional to the nth power of pump power (P pump ) [17,18] as expressed below:…”
