Abstract:A serial of chalcohalide glasses based on the composition Ge-Ga-Se-CsI doped with the different Yb3+/Tm3+ ions concentration were synthesized by melt quenching technique. The refractive indexes, Raman spectra, absorption spectra, infrared fluorescence of the samples were measured. The 1.23μm and 1.8μm fluorescence properties were investigated with different Yb3+/Tm3+ ion concentrations under 975nm laser excitation. The results show that the effective energy transfer between two rare earth ions are mainly attributed to the resonance energy of phonon assistant absorption from Yb3+∶2F5/2→Tm3+∶3H5。level. The multi-phonon relaxation rates (Wmp) of Tm3+∶3H5→3F4(1.23μm) andTm3+∶3F4→3H6(1.8μm) in Ge Ga Se CsI glasses were evaluated to be 303s-1 and 0.30s-1 respectively.
