摘要
采用熔融冷却法制备了Er^3+掺杂的Ge25Ga5S70硫系玻璃,研究其红外透过率、热稳定性。应用Judd—Ofelt理论计算了Er^3+离子的强度参数Ωt(t=2,4,6)、自发辐射跃迁几率、荧光分支比和辐射寿命等光谱参数。应用McCumber理论,计算了Er^3+:^4I13/2→^4I15/2跃迁的受激发射截面。结果表明,该玻璃具有较宽的荧光半高宽(FWHM=71nm)、较大的受激发射截面(Fe=1.325×10^-20cm^2)和较好的稳定性,是一种理想的宽带光纤放大器基质材料。
A Er^3+-doped Ge25Ga5S70 glass was fabricated by the melt quench method, studying the glass by the infrared transmission and the thermal stability. The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ωt (t = 2,4,6), spontaneous transition probability, fluorescence branching ratio and radiative lifetime of energy levels for Er^3+ were calculated by Judd-Ofelt theory. The stimulated emission cross-section of Er^3+ :^4I13/2→^4I15/2 transition was calculated by McCumber theory. The results show that this chalcogenide glass has broad fluorescence full width at half maximum (FWHM = 71 nm), large stimulated emission cross-section ( σe^peak = 13.25 × 10^-21 cm^2) and good thermal stability. This glass can be used as a candidate host material for potential broadband optical amplifiers.
