Abstract A new type of germanate-tellurite glass with doped Tm3+ ions is synthesized and its 1.8 μm emission properties have been studied for its application as a laser material. The Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters, emission cross section, absorption cross section, and gain coefficient of Tm3+ ions are calculated and analyzed. Germanate-tellurite glass with 1.0 mol% Tm2O3 possesses the highest spontaneous transition probability (423.4 s?1) and the largest calculated emission cross section (6.91×10?21 cm2) at 1.8 μm corresponding to the 3F4→3H6 transition. The good 1.8 μm emission performance suggests that this glass may become an attractive host for developing solid state lasers operating in the mid-infrared.
