3.9 μm emission and energy transfer in ultra-low OH−, Ho3+/Nd3+ co-doped fluoroindate glasses

3.9 μm emission and energy transfer in ultra-low OH−, Ho3+/Nd3+ co-doped fluoroindate glasses

Ho 3+/Nd 3+ co-doped fluoroindate glass samples were prepared by melt-quenching. The absorption and emission spectra, and the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve were measured and used to evaluate the spectroscopic parameters and thermal properties. An intense ~3.9 μm emission, ascribed to the transition Ho 3+: 5I 5 → 5I 6, was observed under the excitation of an 808 nm laser diode and was ascribed to the efficient energy transfer process from Nd 3+: 4F 3/2 to Ho 3+: 5I 5, showing the Nd 3+ role as a sensitizer. The optimal concentration ratio of Ho 3+ and Nd 3+ for ~3.9 μm emission was estimated to be 1:1. The spectroscopic performance suggests that the Ho 3+/Nd 3+ co-doped fluoroindate glass is a potential gain material for ~3.9 μm laser applications.

Abstract

Ho 3+/Nd 3+ co-doped fluoroindate glass samples were prepared by melt-quenching. The absorption and emission spectra, and the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curve were measured and used to evaluate the spectroscopic parameters and thermal properties. An intense ~3.9 μm emission, ascribed to the transition Ho 3+: 5I 5 → 5I 6, was observed under the excitation of an 808 nm laser diode and was ascribed to the efficient energy transfer process from Nd 3+: 4F 3/2 to Ho 3+: 5I 5, showing the Nd 3+ role as a sensitizer. The optimal concentration ratio of Ho 3+ and Nd 3+ for ~3.9 μm emission was estimated to be 1:1. The spectroscopic performance suggests that the Ho 3+/Nd 3+ co-doped fluoroindate glass is a potential gain material for ~3.9 μm laser applications.
