摘要
The Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped TeO2-WO3-ZnO glasses bubbling with different times were prepared. The infrared (IR) transmission spectra, emission spectra and fluorescence lifetime of Er3+ at 1.5 um were measured. The quench effects of OH groups on emission intensity of Er3+ at 1.5 um as well as the relationships between fluorescence decay rate and OH group content were investigated. The constant kOH-Er which represents the strength of the interactions between Er3+ ions and OH groups, is approximately 17.0×10-20 cm4/s, and is comparable to that for Er3+ in Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped phosphate glasses.
