- Yb3+/Ho3+ codoped fluoroaluminate glass was prepared.
- 2.85 μm spectroscopic properties of Ho3+ were investigated.
- Energy transfer mechanism and microparameters between Ho3+ and Yb3+ were discussed.
This work reports the mid-infrared emission properties around 2.85 μm in a Yb3+/Ho3+ codoped fluoroaluminate glass. This fluoroaluminate glass shows a good thermal stability and high transmittance around 3 µm. The mid-infrared emission characteristics and energy transfer mechanism upon the excitation of the conventional 980 nm laser diode have been investigated. The prepared glass possesses higher spontaneous transition probability (31.77 sâ1) along with the larger calculated emission cross section (1.91Ã10â20 cm2) corresponding to the laser transition of Ho3+:5I6â5I7. Besides, the upconversion, 1.2 μm and 2 μm fluorescence spectra were measured to understand mid-infrared emission behavior together with decay curves of Ho3+:5I6 level. Moreover, energy transfer microparameters between Yb3+ and Ho3+ were calculated and discussed based on Dexter׳s model. Hence, the advantageous spectroscopic characteristics of Yb3+/Ho3+ codoped fluoroaluminate glass as well as the good thermal property indicate that this kind of glass is an attractive host for developing mid-infrared solid state laser.
