摘要: A complete set of spectroscopic parameters, including Judd-Ofelt parameters, radiative transition probabilities, radiative lifetime, branching ratios and integrated absorption cross section, have been calculated for Tm3+- doped fluoroaluminate (AYF) glass, based on the measured absorption spectra. The mechanism of Tm3+→Tm3+ and Yb3+\Leftrightarrow Tm3+ energy transfers and fluorescence properties have been investigated in both Tm3+ single-doped and Yb3+/Tm3+ double-doped AYF glasses. The cross-relaxation process, 3F4+3H6→23H4, is proved, which makes the optimum Tm3+ concentration of 1.77μm fluorescence (3H43H6) much higher than 1.45μm fluorescence (3F433H4) in Tm3+:AYF glasses. In Yb3+/Tm3+:AYF glasses, a stronger concentration quenching is found for the 476nm emission than that for the 797nm emission, and is discussed under the 970nm-excitation.

The mechanism of Tm3+→Tm3+ and Yb3+ $\Leftrightarrow$ Tm3+ energy transfers and fluorescence properties have been investigated in both Tm3+ single-doped and Yb3+/Tm3+ double-doped AYF glasses. The cross-relaxation process, 3F4+3H6→23H4, is proved, which makes the optimum Tm3+ concentration of 1.77μm fluorescence (3H43H6) much higher than 1.45μm fluorescence (3F43H4) in Tm3+:AYF glasses.
