Abstract:A laser cavity was constructed for excitation of erbium doped zinc tellurite glass rods embedded with various concentration of Ag nanoparticles. Central to the system is a Xenon flashlamp for optical pumping, and mirrors to amplify the light waves. The amorphousity of the glass rod was studied by X-ray diffraction and the existence of silver nanoparticles inside the glass was confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis. The photoluminescence properties and differential thermal analys… Show more
