Abstract

Er 3+ doped tellurite glasses with various Na 2O/Li 2O, Na 2O/K 2O and K 2O/Li 2O ratios (0–4.5) were prepared at 850°C using a platinum crucible. The effect of relative alkali content on absorption linewidth in erbium-doped tellurite glasses was investigated. The highest effective linewidth was obtained from glass samples with mixed alkali molar ratio of Na 2O/Li 2O=1, Na 2O/K 2O=1 and K 2O/Li 2O=1. Glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature, density, refractive index, Judd–Ofelt parameters and emission cross-section of Er 3+ doped tellurite glasses are also reported.
