This model takes into account the mechanisms of cross relaxation and energy transfer to describe the laser operation. A subroutine program for calculating the absorption rate of cladding pumped scheme is included in the model. The losses of signal and pump light along the fiber have been taken into account. The test of cladding pumped scheme program shows good agreement with the experimental result. The experimental results of core pumping Tm Ho doped fiber laser in fluoride host are compared with the present model, and shows a good agreement with calculations. This model also provides data of the optimum parameters for the configuration of the efficient cladding pumped Tm Ho fluoride laser systems.展开更多

Absorp- tion and emission spectra are tested to characterize the 2.7 μm emission properties of Era＋/Tm3＋ and Era＋/Ho3＋ doped ZBYA glasses and a reasonable energy transfer mechanism of 2.7 μm emission between Er3＋ and Tm3＋Ho3＋） ion is proposed. Codoping of Tm3＋ or Ho3＋ significantly reduces the lifetime of the Era＋： 4I13/2 level due to the energy transfer of Er3＋：4I13/2 →Tm3＋：3F4 or Er3＋：4I13/2 →Ho3＋： 5I7. Thus, the 2.7μm emission is strengthened and the 1,5μm emission is decreased accordingly especially in the Era＋/Tma＋ sample. The upconversion effects between the Er3＋/Tm3＋ and Er3＋/Ho3＋ doped ZBYA glasses are different attribute to the different energy transfer efficiencies. Both of the two codoped samples possess nearly equal large emission cross section （16.6 × 10 -21 cm-2） around 2.7 μm. The results indicate that this Er3＋/Tm3＋ or Er3＋/Ho3＋ doped ZBYA glass has potential applications in 2.7 μm laser.展开更多
