Abstract
ABSTRACT We report the basic spectroscopic properties of a home-made holmium-aluminum-germanium co-doped silica fiber, designed for laser applications. We present the ground-state and excited-state absorption spectra of the fiber along with the up-conversion emission spectrum under laser action, which served for making an energy levels’ diagram of Ho3+ ion. We discuss the ways to assess the kinetics of Ho3+ 2-µm fluorescence, focusing on measuring fluorescence lifetime from 5I7 level and non-radiative decay time from 5I6 level. The simple analytical formulae, applicable for fitting of the fluorescence decay curve, are derived, which can be useful for precise modeling of holmium-doped fiber lasers.
期刊介绍:
Fiber and Integrated Optics , now incorporating the International Journal of Optoelectronics, is an international bimonthly journal that disseminates significant developments and in-depth surveys in the fields of fiber and integrated optics. The journal is unique in bridging the major disciplines relevant to optical fibers and electro-optical devices. This results in a balanced presentation of basic research, systems applications, and economics. For more than a decade, Fiber and Integrated Optics has been a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and the business community to exchange and discuss techno-economic advances in the field.
