Abstract
Er3+–Yb3+ codoped transparent oxyfluoride germanate glass ceramics (GCs) containing SrF2 nanocrystals (NCs) have been prepared by melt quenching method. We have measured absorption, photoluminescence (PL), and PL decay. The PL spectra excited at 378 nm and 980 nm for 1.53 µm near-infrared (NIR) and visible emission have been investigated. By using Judd–Ofelt (JO) theory, optical transition parameters have been calculated. Thanks to low phonon energy SrF2 NCs and high fluorine oxyfluoride glass matrix, strong 1.53 µm emission with large measured lifetime (τmeas) are observed. After SrF2 NCs formed, the intensity parameter Ω2 becomes smaller for GC samples, the PL intensity and full width at half maximum increase. Absorption cross section (σa) and emission cross section (σe) at 1.5 µm have been calculated by McCumber theory. The luminescence efficiency (η), effective linewidth (Δλeff), gain bandwidth (σeΔλeff), and figure of merit (σeτm) have been evaluated. The results show excellent optical amplification performance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
