Dy3+ doped alumino borotellurite (ABT) glasses xB2O3+(80-x)TeO2+10Al2O3+10CaO+ 0.5Dy2O3 (where x = 35; 45 and 55) have been prepared by melting method. Their optical properties were studied through absorption, luminescence spectra and decay time measurements. Judd-Ofelt (JO) intensity parameters (Ωλ, λ = 2, 4 and 6) have been determined using absorption spectra and are been used to calculate the radiative parameters like transition probability, stimulated emission cross-section, branching ratios, gain band width and optical gain for the 4F9/2→6H13/2 transition in Dy3+ ions. The chromaticity coordinates is used to estimate the emission feature of prepared glasses.

Glasses having composition 20CdOxBi2O3(79.5-x)B2O30.5Pr6O11 with x varying from 15 to 35 mol% have been synthesized. Optical absorption and fluorescence spectra were measured at ambient temperature. A close correlation is observed between the Bi2O3 content and the spectroscopic properties such as Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ωλ = (λ = 2, 4, 6) , radiative and structural properties of prepared glasses doped with Pr3+ ion. The variation of Ω2 with Bi2O3 content has been attributed to changes in the asymmetry of the ligand field at the rare earth (RE) ion site (due to structural change) and to changes in RE-O covalency, whereas the variation of Ω6 has been related to the variation in RE-O covalency. Following the luminescence spectra, various radiative properties like transition probability (Arad), radiative lifetime (τr), branching ratio (βr) and stimulated emission cross section (σ) have been calculated. The branching ratio for 3P0 → 3F2 transition of Pr3+ glass system arrive at 41 to 40%, respectively, and the predicted spontaneous radiative transition probability rates are high and varies from 14032 to 14864 s−1. In addition, the glass stability is improved in which the substitution of B2O3 for Bi2O3 strengthens the glass network structure. The bismuth based glass as a host for Pr3+ ion doped suggesting their suitability for laser applications.

Glasses of the system: xB2O3-10Bi2O3-30Li2O-xPr6O11 where x =1, 1.5 and 2 were prepared by melt quenching technique. Optical absorption and emission spectra have been recorded. The intensities of f-f transition are calculated in term of Judd-Ofelt (JO) intensity parameters Ωλ (λ = 2, 4 and 6). Using the fluorescence data and these Ωλ parameters, various radiative properties like transition probability (Arad), branching ratio (βR), radiative lifetime (τR), and stimulated emission cross section (σp), of various emission lines have been evaluated. The branching ratio for 3P0→3H4 transition is 56% and the predicted spontaneous radiative transition probability rates are fairly high 16411 s−1. This is beneficial for lasing emission.

Abstract: Zinc lithium lead calcium borophosphate glasses containing Er3+ in (40- x):P2O5:10ZnO:10Li2O:10PbO:10CaO:20B2O3:xEr2O3 (where x=1, 1.5,2 mol %) have been prepared by melt-quenching method. The amorphous nature of the glasses was confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies. Optical absorption, Excitation, fluorescence and Transmittance spectra were recorded at room temperature for all glass samples. Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ωλ (λ=2, 4, 6) are evaluated from the intensities of various absorption bands of optical absorption spectra. Using these intensity parameters various radiative properties like spontaneous emission probability, branching ratio, radiative life time and stimulated emission cross–section of various emission lines have been evaluated.

AbstractWe study the optical gain for various doping concentrations in a dye doped polymer (poly-[9,9-dioctylfluorene] with 6,6'-[2,2'-octyloxy-1,1'-binaphthyl] spacer groups (BN-PFO) doped by the stilbene dye 1,4-bis[2-[4-[N,N-di[p-tolyl]amino]phenyl]vinyl-benzene] (DPAVB)). In such a guest-host-system (GHS) the occupation of the upper laser level (dopant site) is due to Förster energy transfer (FET), which strongly depends on the donor acceptor distance and hence on the concentration of the laser dye. Therefore, the doping concentration is varied over a wide range and the gain coefficients are measured at various excitation densities to analyze the stimulated emission cross section.For the investigated GHS maximum gain coefficients up to ∼340 1/cm were found at absorbed pump energy densities of around 50 μJ/cm2. It will be shown that the stimulated emission cross section (σ = 1.8 × 10−16 cm2) is concentration independent which is quite different to a recently investigated small molecule based GHS. These effects will be discussed considering the rate and exciton diffusion constants.

In Er3+/Yb3+codoped Na2O-ZnO-PbO-GeO2-TeO2(NZPGT) glasses, effective ~1.5mm infrared (IR) emission was investigated under 980nm excitation. Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Wt (t = 2, 4, 6) had been calculated to be 6.78´10-20, 1.54´10-20, and 1.17´10-20cm2,respectively. The IR emission full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 73nm, and the maximum stimulated emission cross-section (se) is derived to be 7.53×10-21cm2. A figure of merit (FOM) as the product FWHM´se is adopted to evaluate the gain bandwidth. The comparison of FOM in different glasses indicated that Er3+/Yb3+codoped NZPGT glasses were potential materials in developing broadband optical amplifier.

Silicon nanocrystals (NCs) represent one of the most promising material systems for light emission applications in microphotonics. In recent years, several groups have reported on the observation of optical gain or stimulated emission in silicon NCs or in porous silicon (PSi). These results suggest that silicon-NC-based waveguide amplifiers or silicon lasers are achievable. However, in order to obtain clear and reproducible evidence of stimulated emission, it is necessary to understand the physical mechanisms at work in the light emission process. In this paper, we report on the detailed theoretical aspects of the energy levels and recombination rates in doped and undoped Si NCs, and we discuss the effects of energy transfer mechanisms. The theoretical calculations are extended toward computational simulations of ensembles of interacting nanocrystals. We will show that inhomogeneous broadening and energy transfer remain significant problems that must be overcome in order to improve the gain profile and to minimize nonradiative effects. Finally, we suggest means by which these objectives may be achieved.

Different concentration of (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1.0 & 1.5) mol% of europium doped lead borate lithium glasses were prepared by melt quenching method. The properties of thermal, photoluminescence & structural were analyzed using DTA, FTIR and emission spectra. Emission spectra was used to evaluate the Judd-Ofelt (JO) parameters. Radiative parameters like stimulated emission cross-sections (σe), effective band width (∆λeff), transition probabilities (A), optical gain bandwidths (σe x ∆λeff), radiative lifetime (τrad) and optical gain (σe x τrad) values were evaluated for the transition 5D0→7Fj (j=1, 2, 3 and 4) of Eu3+ ions. The outcome of transition 5D0→7F4 at its highest value of branching ratios and stimulated emission cross-section are evaluated with the literature. Hence we can could the prepared host glass doped with Eu3+ ions are good fibre amplifiers and it can be used as a red laser.

Calcium fluoroborate glasses doped with trivalent praseodymium ions have been prepared using melt quenching technique with the molar composition (42-x) B2O3 + 20 CaF2 + 15 CaO + 15 BaO + 8 Al2O3 + x PrF3 (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0). Absorption, fluorescence and lifetime spectra were recorded for the title glasses. Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ωt (t = 2, 4 and 6) have been determined for the measured oscillator strengths of the absorption bands by including and excluding the 3H4 → 3P2 hypersensitive transition. From the intensity parameters spontaneous emission probabilities (AR), excited state radiative lifetimes (τR) and branching ratios (βR) were calculated. Fluorescence quenching is observed in all the peaks and is explained by energy transfer mechanisms. Using the fluorescence spectra stimulated emission cross section (σe) for all emission transitions have been estimated. Energy transfer processes were also explained to emphasize the quenching of fluorescence intensity of certain emission transition. Based on the results, the utility of Pr3+ doped calcium fluoroborate glasses as laser active materials as well as wave guides in the visible region is discussed.

Glasses having compositions 20B2O3.(79.5-x)Bi2O3.xSiO2(10 ≤ x ≤ 40) doped with 0.5 mol% of Sm3+ions were prepared by melt quench technique. The amorphous nature of the glasses was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The spectroscopic properties of Sm3+ions in bismuth borosilicate glasses as a function of bismuth oxide were investigated using optical absorption and fluorescence spectra. The Judd-Ofelt theory has been employed to calculate transitions probability from the data of absorption cross-section of several f-f transitions. The intensity parameters Ω2is related to the symmetry of glass hosts, where as the parameter Ω6is inversely proportional to the rare earth oxygen (RE-O) covalency. The variation of Ω4with Bi2O3content has been attributed to rigidity of the samples. Using the Judd Ofelt intensity parameters the other radiative properties like radiative transition probability, radiative life time, branching ratio and the stimulated emission cross-sections of prepared BBSS glasses have been calculated. A bright fluorescent orange emission at 600 nm (4G5/2→6H7/2) of Sm3+ion has been investigated as a function of Bi2O3in host glass. The radiative transition probabilities of Sm3+ions are large in bismuth borosilicate glasses, suggesting the suitability of these glasses as potential candidate for laser application.
