摘要： In recent years, huge progress has been made in the development of rare-earth ion doped tellurite glass laser sources, ranging from watt- and multiwatt-level fiber lasers to nanowatt level microsphere lasers. Significant success has been achieved in extending the spectral range of tellurite fiber lasers generating at wavelengths beyond 2 μm as well as in theoretical understanding. This review is aimed at discussing the state of the art of neodymium-, erbium-, thulium-, and holmium-doped tellurite glass fiber and microsphere lasers.

Photoluminescence properties and energy transfer investigations of Gd3+ and Sm3+ co-doped ZnOa??BaOa??TeO2 glasses for solid state laser application
摘要： The physical, optical, photoluminescence properties of (54-x) TeO2 – 10ZnO – 35BaO –1Sm2O3 – xGd2O3, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 (mol %) are investigated in this research. Five samples of glass were produced by the normal melt quenching process. The evidence indicates that the density of glass increased with increasing of Gd2O3. The molar volume and refractive index investigations have been used to consider the physical properties and optical properties of the produced glass system. Physical parameters such as polaron radius, inter-ionic radius and field strength for Sm3+/Gd3+ ions have been evaluated. The absorption spectra of glass contain peaks at 358, 404, 948, 1,085, 1,235, 1,385, 1,490 and 1535 nm corresponding to the transitions from 6H5/2 to 4D3/2, 6P3/2, 6F11/2, 6F9/2, 6F7/2, 6F5/2, 6F3/2, and 6H15/2, respectively. The emission spectra of glass show four bands at found and attributed to 563, 604, 646 and 709 nm by excitation at 275 nm. Judd-Ofelt parameters and radiative properties was investigated for 53.5TeO2 – 10ZnO – 35BaO – 1Sm2O3 – 0.5Gd2O3 glass. Energy transfer characteristics was observed in the present glasses. The emission intensity of Sm3+ increased with increasing of Gd2O3 concentration until 2 mol %, while the luminescence lifetime decreases with increasing of Gd2O3 content.

Copper nanoparticles enhanced luminescence of Eu3+ doped lead tellurite glass ceramics
摘要： Structural, optical and magnetic properties of some lead tellurite glass ceramics doped with europium(III) ions and co-doped with fixed amounts of metallic copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) or copper(II) ions (via CuO) were investigated. Samples in the (Eu2O3)x·(TeO2)80·(PbO)(19.7-x)·(CuNPs)0.3 and (Eu2O3)x·(TeO2)80·(PbO)(19.7-x)·(CuO)0.3 systems with 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 mol% were obtained and investigated for the first time. Several techniques such as X-ray diffraction, UV-VIS, EPR and luminescence spectroscopies and density and magnetic susceptibility measurements were used in order to characterize the samples. XRD data show that the samples with low Eu2O3 contents (x ≤ 1 mol%) are amorphous while for higher europium oxide contents (x > 1 mol%) are glass ceramics. They also reveal that increasing the Eu2O3 content of samples the symmetry around the europium ions changes from face centered cubic to monoclinic. These symmetry changes are confirmed by the photoluminescence data. In addition, photoluminescence data show that the co-doping with metallic copper nanoparticles enhances the emission peaks of europium ions. UV-VIS absorption spectra show the presence of six coordinated copper (II) ions located at sites with a distorted octahedral symmetry. The EPR data confirm the presence of copper (II) ions in all the studied samples. Magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest the presence of europium ions in both their 3+ and 2+ valence states and evidence an important clustering tendency of europium ions even for low Eu2O3 contents.

Waveguides written in silver-doped tellurite glasses
摘要： We have studied the optical properties of channel waveguides written using a femtosecond laser in tellurite-zinc glasses doped with metallic silver (%TeO2%ZnO:Ag). Our findings showed that the tellurium dioxide glasses could be significantly affected by the silver presence, even with low silver concentration. By properly choosing the parameters and glassy matrix the written waveguides presented lower optical insertion losses and greater refractive index change.

Development of infrared fiber lasers at 1555?nm and at 2800?nm based on Er-doped zinc-tellurite glass fiber
摘要： We manufactured and characterized a low-loss gain fiber based on high-purity TeO2–ZnO–La2O3–Na2O undoped glass for 100-μm cladding and TeO2–ZnO–La2O3–Na2O glass for 10-μm core doped with 0.24 mol% Er2O3. To confirm that the produced fiber is a promising active element for the infrared range, we demonstrated experimentally broadband laser amplification and CW generation at the 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition at 1555 nm with a single-mode diode pump at 975 nm at the 4I15/2 → 4I11/2 transition. We developed a numerical model calibrated to the experimental data for prediction and optimization of laser characteristics in schemes with different parameters. The model describes single- wavelength lasing as well as dual-wavelength cascade lasing at 1555 nm and 2800 nm. It was shown numerically that for the optimized parameters, the maximum slope efficiency at 2800 nm at the 4I11/2 → 4I13/2 transition can reach ~20%. The maximum calculated efficiency at 1555 nm exceeds 30%.

MODIFIED ABSORPTION FEATURES OF TITANIA-ERBIUM INCORPORATED PLASMONIC TELLURITE GLASS SYSTEM
摘要： Achieving efficient lasing glass materials with enhanced absorption and emission cross-section by reducing the Rare Earth (RE) concentration quenching is a challenging issue. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) together with RE ions in the glass matrix are thought as a suitable alternative to overcome the limitations of concentration quenching and weak absorption of inorganic glasses. We prepare a series of Titania-Erbium doped Tellurite glass system with the form (69-x)TeO2-20ZnO-10Na2O-1Er2O3-(x)TiO2, where 0 ≤ x≤ 1.0 mol% via melt-quenching method with optimum erbium contents and varying TiO2 NPs concentrations. The NPs concentration dependent modifications in the absorption characteristics are scrutinized. Glasses are characterized via UV-Vis-NIR and XRD measurements. XRD pattern verifies the amorphous nature of prepared samples. The incorporation of TiO2 NPs is demonstrated to enhance the absorption intensity significantly. This augmentation is attributed to the effect of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) mediated strong local electric field that is swallowed by neighboring Er3+ ions. The observed modification in optical energy band gap and Urbach energy are ascribed to the strong electric field around NPs that interact with the ligand of glass network to transform weak bond into defects. This observation is useful for the development of plasmonic nanoglass materials applicable for photonic devices.

[IEEE 2019 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC) - Munich, Germany (2019.6.23-2019.6.27)] 2019 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC) - An Increase in Refractive Index Contrast in a Waveguide Inscribed in Tellurite Glass by Means of Sub-Nanosecond Bursts of Femtosecond Pulses
摘要： Femtosecond laser direct writing (FLDW) of waveguides in dielectric glasses and crystals is well-recognized technique for manufacturing of compact laser sources, optical sensors, labs-on-a-chip and optical chips for quantum computing [1]. For this technology the main obstacle to compaction of optical circuits and an increase in the number of elements on an optical chip is constraint of the refractive index contrast Δn between the core and the cladding of a waveguide that is given by the nature of FLDW. Insufficient RIC also restricts application of the depressed cladding waveguides in mid-IR due to mode leakage [2]. The largest ever-obtained refractive index change is associated with ion migration in a phosphate glass under the thermal regime of laser writing, and it is as high as +0.03 [3]. Recently we found that simultaneous actions of rarefaction and electronic excitation lead to enhanced negative refractive index change in the laser modified spots in silica glass and sapphire [4], wherein the required conditions were produced by a sub-nanosecond burst of femtosecond laser pulses. Here we report on FLDW of a low loss waveguide with enhanced refractive index contrast in 70TeO2-22WO3-8Bi2O3 glass inscribed by bursts of pulses with exponentially decaying amplitudes in each burst and pulse separation of 10 ps. The depressed cladding waveguide composing of 14 parallel tracks with reduced refractive index was inscribed at wavelength of 1030 nm (Fig.1.(a)). The maximum refractive index change Δn produced by train of ordinary pulses in the investigated glass was as high as -0.002 [2]. Mapping of refractive index change in tracks inscribed by the bursts with different burst energies and pulse separation intervals is shown in Fig.1(c) The range of the parameters was found for which the burst produced smooth tracks of negative refractive index change, and its amplitude is increased by factor of 3 in comparison with tracks inscribed by ordinary pulses. The maximum index change Δn was obtained with pulse separation interval of 10 ps. Beside enhanced refractive index change the burst train inscribed tracks with reduced cross section. That is, the track height is less at least by a factor of 3 in comparison with one inscribed by ordinary pulses under the same energy for a burst and an ordinary pulse (Fig1(a),(b)). We consider that the enhanced index change and the reduced track height are inevitably accompanied by strong localization of energy deposition through a reduction in peak pulse intensity that allowed avoiding destructive Kerr self-focusing. We consider that the new technique of FLDW paves the way for better confinement of radiation in a depressed cladding waveguide writing waveguides with well deterministic architectures. The increase in the waveguide non-linearity and extension of operation range to mid-IR is inevitably expected.

Optical investigation of Er3+ and Er3+/Yb3+ doped zinc-tellurite glass for solid-state lighting and optical thermometry
摘要： Er3+ and Er3+/Yb3+ doped zinc tellurite (ZnO/TeO2) glasses were prepared using melt quenching technique. Spectroscopic properties of the glasses were studied by absorption spectroscopy, luminescence spectroscopy, and color chromaticity coordinates (CIE-1931) measurements. Upconverted-emission intensities and the CIE-1931 coordinates were strongly affected by the presence of Yb3+ ion, as well as the excitation power density of 975 nm laser light. Effect of temperature on green upconverted-emissions from two thermally coupled 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 levels of Er3+ ions were measured and fluorescence intensity ratio technique was applied to investigate the temperature sensing properties. High sensitivity and short response time properties make ZnO/TeO2 glasses a very good candidate for non-contact optical temperature sensor applications. The maximum sensitivity of the glasses doped with Er3+ and Er3+/Yb3+ were found to be 72×10-4 K-1 and 120×10-4 K-1 at 429 K, respectively which are much higher than previously reported temperature sensors based on Er3+ ion doped materials. Hence, Er3+/Yb3+ doped zinc-tellurite glass can be more suitable than that of doped with Er3+ ions only for color tunable solid-state lighting and non-contact optical thermometry applications.

On the efficient Te4+→Yb3+ cooperative energy transfer mechanism in tellurite glasses: A potential material for luminescent solar concentrators
摘要： Te4+/Yb3+ co-doped 80%TeO2-20%Li2O glasses (amounts in mol%) were prepared by the conventional melt-quenching method in an ambient atmosphere, in order to investigate their optical characteristics for application in solar cells. An efficient near-infrared down-conversion mechanism was observed in these samples, involving the emission of two near infrared photons (at around 978 nm) after the absorption of one photon in the ultraviolet-blue region. This effect occurred by means of a process of cooperative energy transfer (CET) from Te4+ to Yb3+ ions. The CET efficiency (h CET) was calculated from radiative transitions (lifetime) and also by a new method, developed in this work, based on rate equations quantifying the non-radiative transitions (thermal effect) involved in the system. The two methods showed very good agreement, with h CET between 82-100% obtained for the sample prepared using a higher Yb3+ concentration (4 mol%). The results suggested that these tellurite materials could have potential applications in improving the efficiency of silicon-based solar cells.

Comparative Spectroscopic Investigation of Tm3+:Tellurite Glasses for 2-μm Lasing Applications
摘要： We performed a comparative spectroscopic analysis on three novel Tm3+:tellurite-based glasses with the following compositions Tm2O3:TeO2-ZnO (TeZnTm), Tm2O3:TeO2-Nb2O5 (TeNbTm), and Tm3+:TeO2-K2O-Nb2O5 (TeNbKTm), primarily for 2-μm laser applications. Tellurite glasses were prepared at different doping concentrations in order to investigate the effect of Tm3+ ion concentration as well as host composition on the stimulated emission cross sections and the luminescence quantum efficiencies. By performing Judd–Ofelt analysis, we determined the average radiative lifetimes of the 3H4 level to be 2.55 ± 0.07 ms, 2.76 ± 0.03 ms and 2.57 ± 0.20 ms for the TeZnTm, TeNbTm and TeNbKTm samples, respectively. We clearly observed the effect of the cross-relaxation, which becomes significant at higher Tm2O3 concentrations, leading to the quenching of 1460-nm emission and enhancement of 1860-nm emission. Furthermore, with increasing Tm2O3 concentrations, we observed a decrease in the fluorescence lifetimes as a result of the onset of non-radiative decay. For the 3H4 level, the highest obtained quantum efficiency was 32% for the samples with the lowest Tm2O3 ion concentration. For the 1860-nm emission band, the average emission cross section was determined to measure around 6.33 ± 0.34 × 10?21 cm2, revealing the potential of thulium-doped tellurite gain media for 2-μm laser applications in bulk and fiber configurations.
