doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2010.00546

Abstract

Abstract:

A serial of chalcogenide glasses based on Ge-Ga-S-CsI system doped with the different Ho³⁺ ions were synthesized by meltquenching technique. The properties of glasses including refractive indexes, absorption spectra, midinfrared emission spectra and lifetimes of 5I6 level of Ho³⁺ions were measured. The Judd Ofelt intensity parameters Ω_i(i=2,4,6), oscillator strength fcal, spontaneous transition probabilities Arad for Ho³⁺ion were calculated by Judd-Ofelt theory. Multiphonon relaxation rates of the Ho³⁺∶⁵I₅→⁵I₆ and ⁵I₆→⁵I₇ in Ge-Ga-S-CsI glasses were evaluated. Effect of Ho³⁺ion concentration on the fluorescence spectra was investigated. The results indicate that the fluorescence under 900 nm excitation with peak wavelength at 2.81μm and 3.86μm are due to

the Ho³⁺∶⁵I₅→⁵I₆ and ⁵I₆→⁵I₇ transition, respectively. The intensity of the mid-infrared fluorescence are enhanced with the Ho³⁺ ion concentration increasing from 0.5wt% to 1.0wt%. Multiphonon relaxation rates are 29s^-1 and 34s^-1 for the Ho³⁺∶⁵I₅→⁵I₆ and ⁵I₆→⁵I₇ transition, respectively.

Key words: mid-infrared luminescence, chalcogenide glass, Ho³⁺-ion
