The tellurite glasses were prepared by conventional melting methods. Their optical properties and sensitization upconversion spectra were performed. The dependence of green upconversion luminescence intensity on the mole ratio of Yb 3+ to Er 3+ and Er 3+ concentration were discussed in detail. When the mole ratio of Yb 3+ to Er 3+ is 25/1 and Er 3+ concentration is 0.1% （mole fraction）, or when the mole ratio of Yb 3+ to Er 3+ is 10/1 and Er 3+ concentration is 0.15%, the optimal upconversion luminescence intensity is obtained. The obtained glasses can be one of the potential candidates for lasers-diode pumping microchip solid-state lasers.展开更多

It is found that up- conversion luminescence intensities significantly increase with the increasing size of alkali metal ions. Raman spectra show that the maximum phonon energies (MPE) of glass hosts are unchanged with the replacement of alkali metal oxides, indicating that MPE is not the reason for the increase of upconversion fluorescence intensities. The analysis of the non-radiative transition of Er3+ demonstrates that the de- crease of the maximum energy phonon density is the main reason for the enhanced fluorescence intensities.展开更多

Effects of Ce2O3 content on the 1.53 μm band fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetime of Er3＋ are measured and investigated. It is found that the tellurite glass containing Ce203 with molar concentration of 0.25% exhibits an increment of 13% in 1.53 μm fluorescence intensity and an increment of 15% in the 4I13/2 level lifetime. The results indicate that the prepared tellurite-based glass with a suitable Er3＋/Ce3＋ codoping concentration is an excellent gain medium applied for broadband Er3＋-doped fiber amplifier （EDFA） pumped with a 980 nm laser diode.展开更多
