Lanthanides co-doped phosphate glasses for broadband applications
Hssen Fares, Habib Elhouichet
Erbium (Er3+) doped phosphate glasses are striking materials due to their broadband emission at around 1.55 μm, thanks to various transitions from 4I13/2 state to 4I15/2 manifolds. Few characteristics, such as effective bandwidth (Δλeff), full-width at half-maximum (FWHM), emission cross-section (σe), and bandwidth quality factor (FWHM×σe) are determinant parameters to obtain practical appropriate materials for broadband applications such as Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). In this chapter, we first revisit the physical origins for the broadening of the 1.55 μm emission. The effect of other rare earth ions RE in the 1.55 μm emission of the Er3+ doped phosphate glasses is also investigated. More important, incorporation of metallic nanoparticles in Er3+ doped phosphate glasses has been introduced as an interesting method to enhance their optical properties for broadband applications.
