Abstract Tm$^{3+}$/Tb$^{3+}$ co-doped TeO$_{2}$-GeO$_{2}$-Bi$_{2}$O$_{3}$-BaF$_{2}$ glasses were synthesized via high-temperature melt-quenching to achieve blue-green fluorescence emission. Under 808-nm pump excitation, the TGBB2 sample (Tm$_{2}$O$_{3}$:Tb$_{4}$O$_{7} = 3:8$) exhibited balanced emissions at 452 nm (blue, Tm$^{3+}$: $^{1}$G$_{4}\to\,{}^{3}$H$_{6}$) and 544 nm (green, Tb$^{3+}$: $^{5}$D$_{4}\to\,{}^{7}$F$_{5}$). With increasing Tb$^{3+}$ concentration, green emission intensity increased while blue emission decreased, confirming efficient Tm$^{3+}\to $Tb$^{3+}$ energy transfer. Key performance metrics for TGBB2 included: a forward energy transfer coefficient of 571.83$\times10^{-40}$ cm$^{6}$/s (far exceeding the reverse coefficient of 63.12$\times10^{-40}$ cm$^{6}$/s), an energy transfer efficiency of 99.5%, maximum emission cross-sections of 5.87$\times10^{-21}$ cm$^{2}$ (476 nm, Tm$^{3+}$) and $3.37\times 10^{-21}$ cm$^{2}$ (486 nm, Tb$^{3+}$), and corresponding gain coefficients of 2.98 cm$^{-1}$ and 0.46 cm$^{-1}$. These results validate the glass's low laser threshold, making Tm$^{3+}$/Tb$^{3+}$ co-doped tellurite-germanate-bismuthate glass a promising candidate for blue-green laser communication and underwater optical transmission.

Online attention
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.
