Abstract
The optical properties of novel antimony-germanate glass and optical fiber co-doped with Yb3+/Tm3+/Ho3+ ions were presented. White light luminescence in glass was observed as a result of energy transfer with upconversion between donor (Yb3+) and acceptors (Tm3+, Ho3+) ions under 976 nm excitation. The double-clad optical fiber with off-set core co-doped with Yb2O3/Tm2O3/Ho2O3 system was fabricated using a modified rod-in-tube technique. In glass co-doped with 0.5 mol%Yb2O3/0.1 mol%Tm2O3/0.2 mol%Ho2O3 the spectral distribution of three luminescence bands (478, 545 and 660 nm) corresponds to x = 0.35 and y = 0.32 CIE coordinates. In comparison to glass the optical fiber emission are located in the green region (CIE, x = 0.37, y = 0.49). (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
