Abstract

Tellurite glasses doped with Er³⁺ and Tm³⁺ are investigated for broadband amplifiers in the third telecommunications window. Fluorescence spectra and lifetimes of Er³⁺ and Tm³⁺ in tellurite glass were measured. Stimulated emission cross-sections were calculated using the McCumber method for Er³⁺ and the Judd-Ofelt analysis for Tm³⁺. The obtained emission parameters are compared with those in other glass hosts. The potential advantages of tellurite glass as amplifier host are discussed.
