Effects of Yb 3+ in Er 3+/Yb 3+ Codoped Fluorophosphate Glasses
-
Abstract
For the Er3+/Yb3+ codoped fluorophosphate glasses, Judd--Ofelt theory is used to analyse the influence of YbF3 as not a sensitizer but an average component on the spectroscopic properties around 1530\,nm emission. The double roles of Yb3+, as a sensitizer and as an average component, are discussed. It is found that Yb3+ as an average component contributes to the increase of fluorescence lifetime, and Yb3+ as a sensitizer has the best sensitization when its concentration is 2.4mol%.
