报道了Tm^3+/HO^3+共掺的镓铋酸盐玻璃14Ga2O3—25Bi2O3—20GeO2—31PbO-10PbF2玻璃1.47μm(S波段)发光和能量传递特征,应用Judd—Ofelt理论计算了玻璃的强度参数Ωt(t=2,4,6),自发辐射概率A、荧光分支比β,荧光辐射寿命τ等各项光谱参数以及有效荧光线宽△λeff和峰值发射截面σe^peak.通过测量荧光光谱和荧光寿命研究了Ho^3+离子掺杂浓度对Tm^3+离子1.47μm波段发光性能的影响,分析了Tm^3+和Ho^3+之间的能量传递过程.结果表明一定浓度内Ho^3+的共掺迅速降低了Tm^3+:^3F4能级的粒子数,而对^3H4能级粒子数影响不大,从而降低了^3F4和^3H4能级间布居数反转的难度,极大地提高了1.47μm发光效率.研究表明镓铋酸盐玻璃是适用于S波段光纤放大器的一种潜在基质材料,而掺杂一定浓度的Ho^3+离子有利于提高Tm^3+离子在1.47μm波段的发光效率.
This paper reports on the spectroscopic properties and energy transfer of Tm^3+/Ho^3+ -codoped 14Ga2O3-25Bi2O3-20GeO2- 31PbO-10PbF2 glasses. The Judd-Ofeh intensity parameters Ωt ( t = 2,4,6), spontaneous-emission probability, branch ratio and radiative lifetime of each level of Tm^3 + have been calculated by Judd-Ofeh theory. The effective bandwidth and peak emission cross-section of the ^3H4→^3F4 transition ( 1.47 μm) of Tm^3 + have also been obtained. Codoping of Ho^3 + significantly decreased the population of ^3F4 level of Tm^3 + , while the population of ^3 H4 level of Tm^3 + reduced slightly. Our results indicate that GGBPF glass is a promising candidate for 1.47 μm optical amplifiers, and Ho^3 + is an effective codopant to enhance the 1.47 μm luminescence.
