摘要
A series of oxyfluoride glasses with the compositions of 75 mol% TeO2, 10 mol% Nb2O5, （15 mol%-x） BaO, x BaF2 （x =0 mol%, 5 mol%, 10 mol%, 15 mol%） doped with Yb2O3 were prepared by the melt-quenching method. Their emission cross-sections, fluorescence lifetimes, and gain properties were investigated by using the absorption spectra and the fluorescence decay curves. The results show that by substituting BaF2 for BaO, the emission cross-section decreases from 1.37 pm^2 to 1.21 pm^2, and the fluorescence lifetime increases from 0.71 ms to 0.96 ms. These properties indicate that this oxyfluoride tellurite glass may have potential uses as the Yb2O3-doped gain medium in a solid laser.
