Abstract
The spectroscopic properties of Sm3 + ions in fluorozirconate fiber are presented. We found that our results were not in full agreement with previous research on Sm3 +doped silica. We observed that the visible emission bands have a relative strength closer to unity, and we measured a fluorescence lifetime that is three times longer than previously reported. The implications of these findings on the role of Sm3 + in zirconium barium fluoride glass and on the operation of Sm3 + doped fiber devices are discussed.
