Glasses with the composition of 65GeO212Ga2O3-10BaO-8Li2O-5La2O3(molar ratio) doped with 1.526 wt.%, 3.006 wt.%, 5.836 wt.%, 11.028 wt.%, and 15.678 wt.% Tm2O3, respectively, were fabricated by conventional melting me...Glasses with the composition of 65GeO212Ga2O3-10BaO-8Li2O-5La2O3(molar ratio) doped with 1.526 wt.%, 3.006 wt.%, 5.836 wt.%, 11.028 wt.%, and 15.678 wt.% Tm2O3, respectively, were fabricated by conventional melting method. According to the absorption spectra and the Judd-Ofelt theory, the J-O strength parameters (Ω2,Ω4, Ω6) were calculated, with which the radiative transition probabilities,branching ratios and radiative lifetimes were obtained. The infrared emission spectra (with 808 nm LD excitation) at~1.47 and~1.8 μm of various concentrations of Tm3+-doped glasses were studied. The emission intensity at~1.8 μm reached to the maximum when the Tm2O3-doping concentration was near to be~3.006 wt.% (1.0 mol.%), and then decreased as doping concentration increased further. The mechanism of the fluorescence intensity change was explained with the cross-relaxation effect and the concentration quenching effect of Tm3+. Meanwhile, according to McCumber theory, the absorption and emission cross-sections corresponding to the 3F4→3H6 transitions of Tm3+ at 1.8 μm was obtained. For Tm3+-doped germanate glasses, the maximum emission cross-section reached a value higher than that re-ported for fluorozircoaluminate glasses. It is expected to be a favorable candidate host for~2.0 μm mid-inflated laser because the glass shows favorable optical spectra.展开更多

The composition,structure,and magnetic properties of these ferrite fibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results show that Mn0.2Zn0.8Fe2-xCexO4 (x = 0-0.04) fibers are featured with an average grain size of 11.6-12.7 nm,with diameters ranging between 1.0 to 3.5 μm and a high ...展开更多
