Abstract

In this article we present possibility of obtaining nano-phase structures in glasses and optical fibers doped with RE ions. Effect of phosphate on structural and optical properties of antimony-germanate glasses doped with Eu3+ions have been investigated. Modification of Sb 2 O 3 - GeO 2 - SiO 2 - Al 2 O 3 - Na 2 O glass system by P 2 O 5 (up to 10 mol.%) shows possibility of creation of the EuPO 4 phosphate nanophase. Controlled heat-treatment process selected glasses are used as a core of optical fiber. The luminescence spectra of glass, glass-ceramics and optical fibers were compared and discussed in terms of embedding nano-crystalline phase structures in RE - doped optical fiber.
