Abstract

Abstract: 2 μm laser has many potential applications on the medical surgery, laser radar, and pollution monitoring etc. Tm³⁺ and Ho³⁺ ions co-doped 70GeS₂-20In₂S₃-10CsI chalcohalide glasses were synthesized by vacuumed melting- quenching technique. The DSC curves and Raman spectra showed that these glasses had good thermal stability and low phonon energy, respectively. The absorption and emission characteristics were evaluated with an emphasis on the 2.00 μm fluorescence from Ho³⁺: ⁵I₇→⁵I₈ transition. Under 808 nm excitation, the infrared emission bands extending from 1.80 μm to 2.10 μm can be seen on the emission spectra of the Tm³⁺ and Ho³⁺ ions co-doped glasses. This broad emission was consisted of two emission bands centered at 1.86 and 2.00 μm, corresponding to the optical transitions Tm³⁺:³F₄→³F₅ and Ho³⁺:⁵I₇→⁵I₈, respectively. At fixed Tm³⁺ ions concentration, the intensity of 2.00 μm emission increased with Ho³⁺ ions concentration increasing from 0.05mol% to 0.125mol%. The enhanced emission of Ho³⁺ ions gives another route to obtain the 2.00 μm infrared laser.
