Influences of Yb3+ ion concentration on the spectroscopic properties of silica glass

Glass and Process Development for the Next Generation of Optical Fibers: A Review

“…Due to the low vapor pressure of RE halide precursors at room temperature, it is difficult to deposit rare-earth (RE) ions using conventional vapor delivery system, as is used for the main glass component precursors such as SiCl 4 , GeCl 4 , and POCl 3 [10]. Similar problems are encountered when adding Al 2 O 3 , which is used to decrease RE ion clustering as discussed above [11]. In order to overcome these issues, alternative methods to fabricate active optical silica fibers have been developed.…”

Properties and structure of Yb3+ doped zinc aluminum silicate phosphate glasses

“…Barua et al [6] showed lower absorption cross-section for higher Yb 3+ content and a maximum lifetime at 0.3 wt.%.…”

“…Most of the matrixes in the Yb 3+ -doped fiber lasers in previous studies have been focused on silicate glasses [5][6][7] which have superior thermal properties but have rather poor chemical durability and solubility with rare-earth elements. Therefore, matrixes using phosphate and other series of glasses become more popular.…”

Effect of P5+ on spectroscopy and structure of Yb3+/Al3+/P5+ co-doped silica glass

“…Yb 3 þ -doped silica glass has attracted much interest [1][2][3][4] because of its excellent properties for practical application in highpower laser [5][6][7][8][9]. This material has been greatly developed in recent years.…”
