Abstract
A novel erbium ion doped zinc fluoride glass was prepared. 2.7μm emission and transmittance properties together with thermal ability were investigated. An enhanced 2.7μm emission was observed by introducing ZnF2 in the ZrF4-based fluoride glass. Meanwhile, the J-O parameters and branching ratios (β) of Er3+-doped zinc fluoride glass were calculated and analyzed. The present Er3+-doped zinc fluoride glass with large emission cross-section (0.92×10−20cm2) and long decay lifetime (2.05ms) at 2.7μm indicates that it have very promising applications for solid state lasers around 3μm.
