Rare-Earth Doped Oxide Glasses and Fibers for Lasers Emitting in the 2÷3 μm Spectral Range

Abstract

The aim of this investigation is the search of novel promising materials for solid-state and fiber lasers emitting in the spectral range 2÷3 microns, i.e. out of the range where the well-developed rare-earth doped silica fibers can successfully operate. We have stopped our choice on tellurite and calcium aluminate glasses. In contrast to silica glasses, both these glass types can contain high (>1021 cm−3) amounts of rare earth dopants. In contrast to ZBLAN glass that is widely used for mid-infrared fiber lasers, both tellurite and aluminate glasses can be quite stable to air moisture. Furthermore, calcium aluminate glasses are prominent for their extraordinary mechanical properties (better than those of fused silica).
