Abstract
Er 3+ emission and lasing properties at 1.5 µm were studied in fluoride phosphate glasses (FP20) with different doping concentrations as well as in a commercial phosphate glass (Kigre QX). Emission decay behaviour at 1 µ ma nd 1.5 µm was examined with respect to energy transfer be- tween ytterbium and erbium. Emission cross-sections were determined using the reciprocity and Fuchtbauer-Ladenburg methods. Gain spectra were calculated for the glasses and related to differences in the tuning curves and lasing prop- erties. The temperature rise due to the quantum defect was determined via the ratios of green upconversion luminescence for different pump powers. The results from the laser and tuning experiments indicate that the FP20 glass offers good possibilities in broadband amplification and the generation of ultrashort pulses.
