本文研究了一系列二极管泵浦的掺Er ~（3+）和Er ~（3+）、Yb ~（3+）共掺低硅铝硅酸盐玻璃的中红外光致发光。在2.8 μ m的发射观察到在单掺杂和共掺杂样品。Yb 3+共掺杂的Er 3+掺杂的样品的效果是这样的，例如，对于2重量%的Er 3+掺杂，在2.8 μ m的光致发光产率被发现是大约三倍大于单一的2重量%的Er 3+掺杂的样品。这种行为归因于在我们的氧化物基基质玻璃中Yb 3+对Er 3+的有效敏化。在这封信中报道的结果，连同这些玻璃的突出的机械，化学和热性能，表明稀土掺杂的铝酸钙玻璃可能成为一个有吸引力的主机的发展中红外固态激光器。(C)1999年美国物理学会。【S0003-6951（99）00407-6】。
In this letter, we investigate the midinfrared photoluminescence of a series of diode-pumped Er3+-doped and Er3+, Yb3+-codoped low-silica content aluminosilicate glasses. Emission at 2.8 mu m was observed in both single doped and codoped samples. The effect of Yb3+ codoping of the Er3+-doped samples was such that, for example, for a 2 wt % Er3+-doped, the photoluminescence yield at 2.8 mu m was found to be roughly three times larger than that of the single 2 wt % Er3+-doped sample. This behavior was attributed to the efficient sensitization of Er3+ by Yb3+ in our oxide based host glasses. The results reported in this letter, together with the outstanding mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of these glasses, suggest that rare-earth doped calcium aluminate glasses may become an attractive host for the development of solid state lasers operating in the midinfrared.
