摘要
Tm3+ doped GeS2-Ga2S3-CsCI (GGC) chalcohalide glasses are prepared by melt-quenching method. The 1.8 mu m emission of Tm3+ is investigated under the excitation of 808 nm laser diode. The ratio of the 1.8 mu m emission intensity to that of the 1.48 mu m (I-1.8/I-1.48) reaches 10.7, it is much higher than previously reported Tm3+ doped oxide glasses. With the optimized doping concentration, the 1.8 mu m emission in a range of 1756 to 1876 nm shows the largest full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of similar to 120 nm. The life time of Tm3+ reaches millisecond level for the present chalcohalide glasses. It is at the same level as oxide glass counterparts. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
