摘要
This paper reported the thermal stability and spectroscopic properties of Ga2O3-GeO2-Na2O-K2O （GGNK） glasses doped with Er3＋. The GGNK glasses were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, Raman spectra, absorption and infra- red-visible fluorescence spectra. Measured DSC result showed that these glasses possessed an excellent stability （AT=188.6 ℃）. The relationship between glass composition and Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters and other optical properties of Er3＋, such as the absorption and stimulated emission cross-sections, were clarified. Meanwhile an intense broadband 1.53μm emission with a full width at half- maximum of 51 nm and peak emission cross-section of 9.32×10^-21 cm2 of Er3＋-doped GGNK glass was obtained upon 980 nm di- ode-laser excitation. Effects of K2O replacing Na2O on the thermal stability and spectroscopic properties were investigated. It was found that the incorporation of K2O into Er3＋-doped Ga2O3-GeO2-Na2O glass could effectively improve the 1.53 μm emission luminescence. The results showed that GGNK glass might be more attractive host material for their application in C-band optical fiber amplifiers.
