Abstract A comprehensive study on the thermal stability and spectroscopic properties of Er3+/Yb3+-codoped Al(PO3)3-based fluorophosphate glasses have been reported for 1.5-mm fiber amplifiers in this paper. From optical absorption spectra, the Judd-Ofelt parameters of Er3+ in the glasses and then several important optical properties, i.e., the radiative transition probability, the branching ratio and the spontaneous emission probability, have been calculated by Judd-Ofelt theory. The fluorophosphate glass exhibits broadband near-infrared emission at 1.53 mm with a full width at half-maximum over 63 nm, and a large calculated stimulated-emission cross-section of 6.85×10-21 cm2.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
