Abstract

Abstract In this paper, Tm3+ doped pure tellurite glass, TiO2 modified tellurite glass and TiO2/GeO2 co-modified tellurite glasses were prepared. The effects of the introduction of TiO2 and GeO2 oxides on the thermal, structural, optical properties of tellurite glasses were compared and analyzed intensively. Besides, the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters and absorption and emission cross sections were calculated. DTA curves indicated the thermal stability of pure tellurite glass enhance obviously by GeO2 modification. The introduction of TiO2 and GeO2 oxides in tellurite glasses arise a series of variation on the absorbance, luminescence peak position and fluorescence intensity which have been explained and analyzed in detail. Based on the analysis, the addition of TiO2 in tellurite glass contributes to the improvement of 2 μm fluorescence performance, and the introduction of GeO2 has great advantages in enhancing the thermal stability of glass.
