Dysprosium doped lithium lanthanum borate glasses (LiLaB:Dy3+) were prepared by the melt quenching technique, varying the Dy2O3 doped concentration from 0.00 to 1.50 mol%. The absorption spectra showed that LiLaB:Dy3+ glass absorbed photon in visible light and near infrared region. From the excitation of 388 nm, this glass emitted the photon with 483, 575, 664 and 753 nm wavelength. The intensity of emission increased with increasing of Dy2O3 concentration until 1.0 mol%, after that it decreased. The Judd-Ofelt (J-O) analysis was applied to 1.0 mol% doped glass to investigate the J-O parameter, radiative transition possibility and stimulated emission cross section. These values were interpreted to the ability of laser gain medium.

The photoluminescence properties of lithium yttrium borate glasses doped with Eu3+ (LiYB:Eu3+) were studied in this work. Glass samples were prepared by melt-quenching technique with variation of Eu2O3 doped concentration between 0.00 – 6.00 mol%. The absorption spectra show that LiYB:Eu3+ glasses absorbed photon in visible light (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) region. Photon absorption at 394 nm can excite glass to emit the number of photons in VIS region such as 591, 613, 653 and 701 nm. The strongest emission belong to the light with 613 nm wavelength. The optimum concentration of Eu2O3 for LiYB glass is 4.00 mol%. Judd-Oflet (J-O) analysis was used to study on 4.00 mol% doped glass, which shows the interesting potential for using this glass as gain medium in 701 nm emitting laser.

Spectroscopic properties of neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride were measured at different temperatures from 35 K to 350 K in specimens with 1 at% Nd3+ concentration. The absorption spectrum was measured at room temperature from 400 to 900 nm. The decay dynamics of the 4F3/2 multiplet was investigated by measuring the fluorescence lifetime as a function of the sample temperature, and the radiative decay time was derived by extrapolation to 0 K. The stimulated-emission cross-sections of the transitions from the 4F3/2 to the 4I9/2, 4I11/2, and 4I13/2 levels were obtained from the fluorescence spectrum measured at different temperatures, using the Aull–Jenssen technique. The results show consistency with most results previously published at room temperature, extending them over a broader range of temperatures. A semi-empirical formula for the magnitude of the stimulated-emission cross-section as a function of temperature in the 250 K to 350 K temperature range, is presented for the most intense transitions to the 4I11/2 and 4I13/2 levels.

Highly transparent (Ho0.01La0.10Y0.89)2O3 transparent ceramics were fabricated by the conventional ceramics processing with nanopowders. The microstructure, the optical properties and the spectroscopic properties of (Ho0.01La0.10Y0.89)2O3 ceramics were investigated. (Ho0.01La0.10Y0.89)2O3 ceramics with the grain size of ~50 μm were obtained by sintering at 1530 °C for 45 h. The highest in-line transmittance reaches 65%. The emission peak located at 2 μm wavelength indicates (Ho0.01La0.10Y0.89)2O3 transparent ceramics is suitable for 2 μm laser gain medium.

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 –Recently, development of laser gain medium has been more attractive to be investigated due to the laser application in human daily life. For example, laser is used for medical treatment, surgery, security system, cutting, spectroscopy characterization and sensor. Laser is produced by the system including pump source, resonator, and an optical gain medium. This paper will be focused in a gain medium based on trivalent rare earth ions (Ln3+) such as Dy3+, Sm3+, and Eu3+ doped glass. The gain medium is developed by melt and quenching technique. The raw materials are a powder that is melted at the glass transition temperature. Afterwards, the glass liquid is poured at stainless steel at room temperature and annealed for several hours. After the annealing process, the bulk glass is cut and polished for characterization. Physical, optical, and luminescence properties of the gain medium are analyzed and discussed in this paper. The CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram coordinate is calculated to define the proper coordinate of glass sample emission light. The previous research shows that Dy3+, Sm3+ and Eu3+ in glass system can emit white, orange, and reddish-orange excited by 388 nm, 403 nm and 393 nm, respectively. From the results, trivalent rare earth ion doped glass possesses high potential to be developed for laser gain medium material. Keywords: glass, laser, luminescence, optic, Ln3+

The Yb3+-doped silicate and phosphate laser glasses were prepared by using of traditional melt quenching technology, and the physical and spectral properties were investigated. The results show that the stimulated emission cross section and the fluorescence lifetime are 0.67×10-20cm2 and 1200μs for the silicate glass, and 0.75×10-20cm2 and 1000μs for the phosphate glass respectively. And silicate glass’s mechanical and thermal properties were better than that of phosphate glass. But Yb3+-doped phosphate glass has lower nonlinear refraction index n2. Both Yb3+-doped silicate and phosphate glasses are possible to be used as laser medium.
