Abstract
The structural and luminescence properties of Tm3+ doped CaF2 based oxyfluoroborosilicate glasses and glass ceramics were discussed. The critical glass ceramic (BSTm1.0GC2) nature was obtained through different heat treatment processes as 450 °C for 1 h and the concentration of Tm3+ ions was optimized as 1.0 mol% for efficient emission. The spectroscopic and laser characteristic parameters were evaluated applying the standard Judd-Ofelt theory. The emission of blue light through 1D2 → 3F4 transition was studied by exciting at 360 nm UV wavelength. Upon 808 nm laser excitation, the glasses and glass ceramics produce 1.46 μm emission through 3H4 → 3F4 transition. The effective bandwidth (114.99 nm), stimulated emission cross-section (14.30 × 10−21 cm2), gain bandwidth (1644.74 × 10−28 cm3), figure of merit (10.21 × 10−24 cm2s) and the quantum yield (76 %) of 3H4 → 3F4 transition made the BSTm1.0GC2 suitable as gain medium for 1.46 μm NIR fiber laser applications.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
