The new Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped 70TeO2-5Li2O-(25-x)B2O3-xGeO2 (x = 0, 5, 10, 15 fand 20 mol.%) glasses were prepared. The thermal stability, absorption spectra, emission spectra and lifetime of the 4I(13/2) level of Er3+ ions were measured and studied. The FT-IR spectra were carried out in order to investigate the structure of local arrangements in glasses. It is found that the thermal stability, absorption cross-section of Yb3+, emission intensity and lifetime of the 4I(13/2) level of Er3+ increase with increasing GeO2 content in the glass composition, while the fluorescence width at half maximum (FWHM) at 1.5 um of Er3+ is about 70 nm. The obtained data suggest that this system glass can be used as a candidate host material for potential broadband optical amplifiers.
制备了新型Er3+/Yb3+共掺杂的70TeO2-5Li2O-(25-x)B2O3-xGeO2(x = 0、5、10、15和20摩尔%)玻璃。测量并研究了Er3+离子4I(13/2)能级的热稳定性、吸收光谱、发射光谱和寿命。进行了傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)分析,以研究玻璃中局部排列的结构。结果发现,随着玻璃成分中GeO2含量的增加,热稳定性、Yb3+的吸收截面、Er3+的4I(13/2)能级的发射强度和寿命均增加,而Er3+在1.5μm处的半高宽(FWHM)荧光约为70nm。所得数据表明,该体系玻璃可作为潜在宽带光放大器的候选基质材料。
