摘要：Intense 1-5 μm infrared emission from near-to mid-infrared was obtained from Ho3+/Yb3+codoped TeO2-ZnF2 oxyfluorotellurite glasses which were prepared by melt-quenching method under the 980 nm LD excitation,and the emission intensity can be enhanced with the increase of ZnF2 content.Judd-Ofelt analysis was used to evaluate the radiative transition parameters of the excited levels according to the absorption spectra.The stimulated emission cross section of 5 I6→5 I8(1.2 μm),5 I7→5 I8(2.0μm),5 I6→5 I7(2.85 μm) and 5 I5→5 I6(4.0 μm) transitions were calculated to reach 0.639 × 10-20,0.760 ×10-20,0.985×10 20 and 0.484 × 10-20 cm2,respectively.The energy transfer coefficients(CDA) are enhanced with the increase of ZnF2 content and phonon contribution ratios of phonon assisted energy transfer process between Ho3+ and Yb3+were figured out.Our results demonstrate that these TeO2-ZnF2 glasses,which possess good thermal stability and transparency,low phonon energy(about 600 cm-1),excellent near-and mid-infrared emission in the range of 1-5 μm wavelength,would be promising material for infrared optical fibers and infrared lasers.
