Influence of thermal treatment on spectroscopic properties of Er3+ ions in multicomponent InF3-based glasses

Effect of bismuth oxide introduction on spectroscopic properties of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped aluminophosphate glasses

“…Great attentions have been focused on the spectroscopic properties of Er 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped glassy matrix including phosphate, borate fluoride, and tellurite glasses [1][2][3]. Phosphate glass is an excellent material for amplifier due to its high stimulated emission cross-section, ion exchangeability, high gain coefficient, low upconversion emission and low probability of energy back transfer from Er 3+ to Yb 3+ .…”

Nd-doped oxyfluoroborate glasses and glass-ceramics for NIR laser applications

“…In our case, the orthorhombic PbF 2 phase exists in Nd 3+ -doped transparent oxyfluoride lead borate glass-ceramic materials in opposite to (i) Tm 3+ ions in oxyfluoride lead germanate glass-ceramics, where cubic ␤-PbF 2 phase was identified [10,11] and (ii) Er 3+ ions in multicomponent InF 3 -based systems, where at least two or more crystalline phases are formed during thermal treatment [12].…”

Influence of heat treatment on spectroscopic properties of Er3+ in multicomponent ZrF4–ZnF2–AlF3–YF3–MF2 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) based glass

“…On the other hand, an increasing of heating temperature probably cause crystallization of additional phase and which can be shown that new lines appear after heated at high temperature. Generally speaking, the process of crystallization of fluoride glasses in multicomponent system is complex and phase identification is difficult in most cases [12,16]. In this work, the crystal phase precipitated in the base fluoride glass during heat treatment can not be identified by direct comparison with standard JCPDS data.…”

“…So far, a series of rare earth doped oxyfluoride glass-ceramics have been obtained since it was reported by Wang and Ohwaki [5][6][7], in which the spectroscopic properties of the glass ceramics were greatly enhanced. In recent years, most of the research work in fluoride glass ceramics has focused on their application as X-ray storage phosphors [8][9][10], while only a few studies on the spectroscopic properties of rare earth ions in fluoride glass ceramics were reported [11,12]. In the present work, we describe the preparation and the spectroscopic properties of Er 3+ in new multicomponent ZrF 4 -ZnF 2 -AlF 3 -YF 3 -MF 2 (M = Ca Sr Ba) based glass ceramics.…”
