Abstract

Tm-doped ZBLAN and Tm-doped silicate glass are compared spectroscopically and the fiber lasing of the Tm 3F4 → 3H6 transition around 1.9 μm in ZBLAN and silicate glass is compared. The spectroscopy of these materials indicates that Tm: ZBLAN possesses advantages over Tm:silicate glass due to the lower phonon energies. Diode-pumped fiber lasing experiments demonstrate that Tm:ZBLAN possesses advantages over Tm:silicate in laser performance.
