Tm3+/Ho3+doped tellurite glasses with good thermal stability and low phonon energy are prepared. 1.8 µm fluorescence, enhanced near 2 µm fluorescence and a weak 2.3 µm fluorescence are observed in the Tm3+/Ho3+co-doped glasses. The energy transfer mechanism between Tm3+and Ho3+has been analyzed according to the absorption spectra, the emission spectra and the level structures of Tm3+and Ho3+ions. The decay lifetime of 1.8 µm and 2 µm fluorescence in Tm3+/Ho3+co-doped tellurite glass are 0.38 ms and 2.46 ms, respectively. Moreover, the energy transfer efficiency between Tm3+:3F4and Ho3+:5I7levels is calculated and compared. Additionally, the calculated forward energy transfer coefficient CTm-Hois about five times as large as the reverse energy transfer coefficient CHo-Tm. Results demonstrate that the Tm3+/Ho3+doped tellurite glass has excellent spectroscopic properties and can be an attractive candidate for 2 µm laser.
