Femtosecond laser pulses were used to change the valence of Sm3+ions doped in silicate glasses consisting of Al2O3and TiO2. When doped in TiO2–SiO2glass, no change was observed in Sm3+ions by laser irradiation. On the other hand, Sm3+ions were reduced to Sm2+in Al2O3-containing glasses. Fluorescence line-narrowing spectra indicate that Ti4+ions are dissolved in silica network and occupy the tetrahedral site forming Si–O–Ti bonds, while Al3+ions occupy tetrahedral and octahedral sites. The laser irradiation carries to form the hole-defect centers in the oxygen ions in the Al–O octahedral. The released electrons from oxygen ions are captured in the nearest neighboring Sm3+ions, resulting in the formation of Sm2+. On the other hand, in the Ti4+-containing glasses, the electrons are trapped in Ti4+ions and no Sm2+ions are formed. The fluorescence properties of the Sm2+ions and defect centers were compared from the time-resolved fluorescence spectra.
