摘要
This work reports a microsphere laser at similar to 2.0 mu m in a Tm3+-doped ZrF4-BaF2-YF3-AlF3 (ZBYA) fluoride glass. The ZBYA glass microsphere was fabricated by reflowing the tip of a 1.0 mol% Tm3+-doped ZBYA glass fiber with a CO2 laser. By using a fiber taper for input and output coupling in the Tm3+-doped ZBYA microsphere, single and multi-mode laser outputs at around 2.0 mu m were observed under 808 nm laser excitation. The radiation lifetime and emission cross-section of Tm3+ ions in ZBYA glass were calculated to be 6.42 ms and 5.86 x 10(-21)cm(2), respectively. Our results indicate that the Tm3+-doped ZBYA fluoride glass has potential applications for 2.0 mu m lasers.
