[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) - Rare-Earth Doped Phosphate Optical Fibres and Rods for Compact Pulsed Optical Amplification
摘要： In the last decade high energy and high peak power pulsed laser sources have been in a great demand for a variety of applications such as remote sensing (LIDAR, DIAL), range findings, communications systems and material processing. Since the energy of the pulsed laser oscillator is generally much lower than the one required for the applications, a fibre amplifier is commonly used to boost the output power, realizing the so called MOPA (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) laser architecture. The realization of a fibre amplifier requires an active medium with high optical gain in short length, in order to mitigate nonlinear optical effects. Multicomponent phosphate glasses are recognized to be an ideal host material for the realization of these fibres, as they can be doped with large amounts of rare earth (RE) ions (up to 1021 ions/cm3) without clustering, thus allowing the fabrication of extremely compact active devices with high optical gain (> 5 dB/cm) in short length [1,2]. Moreover, phosphate glasses possess good thermo-mechanical properties, high emission cross-sections, high optical damage threshold and are less susceptible than silica to photodarkening [3,4]. With the aim of realizing short-length amplifiers in the 1 μm and 1.5 μm wavelength range, highly Yb3+ and Yb3+-Er3+-doped custom phosphate glass compositions were designed and fabricated by melt-quenching technique. Suitable cladding compositions were explored. The manufactured glasses were thoroughly investigated. First of all, they were thermo-mechanically characterized, then the glasses underwent optical characterization such as refractive index measurement, FTIR spectroscopy and, for active glass, RE emission spectroscopy resolved in time and frequency. Phosphate fibers and rods were then manufactured by preform drawing using a custom induction heated optical fiber drawing tower, with the preform being obtained by rod-in-tube technique. Preliminary results of optical amplification are presented for a single stage MOPA, both in the 1 μm and 1.5 μm wavelength range.

Effect of Er3+ on NaSrB glass: thermoluminescence and structural analysis
摘要： The present work reports the investigations on Er3+-doped sodium–strontium–borate glasses for their structural, optical and thermoluminescence (TL) properties. While the amorphous nature of the prepared glasses is confirmed by the powdered X-ray diffraction (XRD), some interesting features were found in the structure and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) studies such as the nanocrystallization and the presence of BO3 and BO4 structural units. Some physical parameters such as ion concentration, polaron radius, inter-nuclear distance, and field strength are calculated and analyzed. Optical band gap was found to be sensitive to the concentration of the dopants. TL glow curve exhibits a single peak but it shifts with variation in concentration of Er2O3. Calculation of kinetic parameters show that the prepared glasses exhibit second-order kinetics. The effective atomic number (Zeff) of prepared glasses is also calculated which indicates their suitability for application in radiation dosimetry.

Facile Synthesis and Controllable Emission of Tm <sup>3+</sup> /Er <sup>3+</sup> -Doped and -Co-doped α-NaYbF <sub/>4</sub> Upconversion Nanocrystals
摘要： Tm3+, Er3+-doped and -co-doped α-NaYbF4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route with oleic acid as the capping agent. Experimental results showed that the doped NaYbF4 nanoparticles possessed a cubic phase with the average size of ～13 nm. Upon excitation by a 980 nm laser, the as-synthesized nanoparticles exhibited blue and red upconversion emissions corresponding to the monodoped Tm3+, Er3+ in the cubic-phase NaYbF4, respectively, and intense green and red emissions in the Tm3+/Er3+-co-doped NaYbF4 nanoparticles. Furthermore, the possible energy transfer mechanism among Yb3+/Tm3+/Er3+ in α-NaYbF4 nanoparticles was also proposed. The cell toxicity test revealed that the as-synthesized upconversion nanoparticles possessed remarkably low cytotoxicity. All of the advantageous features including facile synthesis, controllable emission, and low cytotoxicity make the upconversion nanoparticles promising for multicolor bioimaging and anti-counterfeiting applications.
