Abstract
The fluorescence characteristics of Er3+ codoped with Ce3+ or Yb3+ in ZBLAN glass were studied. It was found that the 1.55µm band fluorescence characteristics can be effectively improved by Ce3+-codoping, and dynamics of the transfer and back transfer among Yb3+ and Er3+ ions in fluoride glasses can be well described by the energy transfer model.
