Mathematical Modelling of Einstein’s Rate Equations for Zinc Phosphate Glass with Er³⁺-Yb³⁺

There is a constant growth in the demand of data information transmission capacity, that is, more and more people send data, voice, video signals, among others, through communications networks. Due to the above there is great interest in improving network devices, such as optical amplifiers, which must cover a large bandwidth and generate greater gain than those currently available. For this reason in this work a computational simulation for a Quasi-system was carried out three energy levels of Erbium and Ytterbium varying their concentrations and proving that they are optimal candidates in a zinc phosphate matrix as this type of glass contains properties such as, high transparency, low melting point, high thermal stability, high gain density due to high solubility, low refractive index and low dispersion, which makes them optimal as signal amplifiers. The results confirm that by increasing the doping of the Erbium ion the gain of the amplifier decreases, contrary to the Ytterbium ion that by increasing the doping the gain of the amplifier increases.

Luminescent Properties of the Mn²⁺Ion in Zinc Phosphate Glass

In the development of new optoelectronic devices, mainly those related to solid state technology (SSL), the generation of luminescent materials with high intensity in visible region and low cost is of vital importance. For this reason, this work presents the luminescent properties of zinc phosphate glasses doped with the manganese ion 2+. The manganese ion offers a series of advantages with respect to rare earths, such as a more accessible cost and an intense emission in the red color that make it a great candidate for the generation of new optoelectronic devices. The methodology for the synthesis is presented in this work, as well as its luminescent properties, for concentrations of 2%, 10%, 13% and 15% atomic.
