Abstract
The ~2.0μm emission characteristics of Ho3+ both by direct excitation and through Yb3+ sensitization in barium-tellurite glass are reported. The radiative properties of active ions have been evaluated by applying Judd-Ofelt theory on the measured absorption spectrum. A significant enhancement of Ho3+ emission (2.0μm) observed with 12 fold decrease of Yb3+ emission (1008nm) in co-doped sample entrenched the efficient energy transfer from Yb3+:2F5/2→Ho3+:5I6. The host phonon assistance in the energy transfer process has been conferred by using Dexter model. Comparatively better emission properties (Arad, Δλeff, σem) reveal that, the present material could be promising for laser emission at ~2.0μm.
