Whether adding Gd 3+ in Yb:GdYAG broadens absorption and emission peaks for better laser performance is recently under debate. By preparing (Yb 0.05 Y 0.95-x Gd x ) 3 Al 5 O 12 (x = 0.2, 0.6, 1, 5, 10, 20 at%) transparent ceramics with one-step solid-state reactive sintering under vacuum, we report a non-monotonic relation between increasing Gd 3+ content and micro-structure/properties. Specifically, the grain size decreases till x = 10 at%, but increases at 20 at% with secondary phases formed at grain boundaries by segregated Gd 3+ . The optimal optical properties are achieved at 10 at%. The in-line transmittance reaches 83.9 % at 1100 nm. Absorption and emission cross-sections are significantly broadened (8.0 × 10 −21 cm 2 at 940 nm and 26.7 × 10 −21 cm 2 at 1030 nm, respectively). The FWHM of main emission peak at 1030 nm receives a ∼60 % extension to 15.2±0.4 nm. It indicates lattice Gd 3+ broadens peak widths and improves transparency, while segregated Gd 3+ diminishes peak broadening and adversely affects transparency.

Yttria (Y 2 O 3 ) nanopowders were synthesized by a normal precipitation method using (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 as dispersing agent. Pure Y 2 O 3 powders without any other phase can be achieved by calcining the precursor at 600 °C for 4 h. The precursor and Y 2 O 3 powders were characterized by TG-DTA, XRD , SEM and BET. In this work, 5 at.%Yb : (La 0.1 Y 1.9 ) 2 O 3 transparent ceramics were made by vacuum sintering at 1650 °C for 10 h. The in-line transmittance of the 5 at.%Yb:(La 0.1 Y 0.9 ) 2 O 3 ceramics is 81.3% at the wavelength of 1031 nm. The absorption cross-sections of the sample are calculated to be 1.20 × 10 −20 cm 2 , 5.74 × 10 −21 cm 2 and 4.18 × 10 −21 cm 2 at 976, 951 and 906 nm, respectively. The emission cross-sections of the emission peak located at around 1031 and 1073 nm are 1.13 × 10 −20 and 0.42 × 10 −20 cm 2 , respectively.

In this work, a multicomponent GeO 2 –Sb 2 O 3 –BaO (BSG) glass is explored to assess its potential for 1.06 μm fiber lasers . The glass-forming region of BSG system is predicted and determined experimentally based on a thermodynamic method. Benefitting from the incorporation of Sb 2 O 3 , this system possesses an exceptionally large glass-forming region, as well as high density and refractive index , wide infrared transmission range and low phonon energy. Furthermore, an efficient near-infrared emission at 1064 nm from Nd 3+ has been realized in this oxide glass with relatively long measured lifetime (200.58 ± 1.24 μs) and large emission cross-section (3.015 ± 0.090 × 10 −20 cm 2 ), indicating that Nd 3+ -doped BSG glass is a promising candidate for laser application in 1.06 μm region.

Tellurite-based glass composed of TeO 2 -Ta 2 O 5 -ZnO (labeled as TTZ) is explored as the host material for a potential 2.7 μm fiber laser. It is found that the glass-forming region, structural and physical properties of TTZ glass undergo considerable changes when platinum crucible are adopted to prepare glass instead of alumina one. Especially, the Er 3+ -doped TTZ glass that melted in platinum crucible exhibits relatively larger absorption and emission cross-sections at 2.7 μm than that of alumina one. Further studies show that an enhanced 2.7 μm luminescence can be achieved from the heavily Er 3+ -doped TTZ glass, the absorption and emission cross-sections, figure of merit and maximum gain coefficient of Er 3+ -doped TTZ-Pt glasses at 2.7 μm are calculated to be 0.91 × 10 −20 and 1.01 × 10 −20 cm 2 , 3.18 × 10 −24 cm 2 ·s and 2.25 cm −1 , respectively, indicating that the Er 3+ -doped TTZ glass may be a promising candidate host for mid-infrared fiber lasers.

Singly Ho 3+ -doped TeO 2 –Ta 2 O 5 –ZnO (TTZ) glass and optical fiber for 2 μm fiber lasers have been investigated. The glass-forming region of the ternary TTZ glass system is determined to study its glass-forming ability and to select an appropriate glass matrix for doping Ho 3+ ions. Upon the excitation of a 1940 nm laser diode (LD), an intense emission at 2.06 μm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 61 nm is observed from the Ho 3+ -doped TTZ glass. The measured lifetime of the Ho 3+ : 5 I 7 level in TTZ glass shows a gradual decrease from 3.5 to 0.98 ms as the dopant concentrations increase from 0.2 to 2 mol%. A large emission cross-section (σ e MC ∼ 4.56 × 10 −21 cm 2 ) and figure of merit (FOM, ∼ 6.83 × 10 −24 cm 2 ·s) are obtained. The Ho 3+ -doped TTZ glass is further fabricated into an optical fiber with an average transmission loss of 0.12 dB/cm at 1310 nm. The results show that singly Ho 3+ -doped TTZ glass and optical fiber are promising candidates for efficient 2 μm fiber lasers.

Ytterbium-doped yttrium oxide (5 at.%Yb:Y 2 O 3 ) nanopowders were synthesized by the co-precipitation method in this work. The influence of the molar ratio of ammonium hydrogen carbonate to metal ions (NH 4 HCO 3 /M 3+ , defined as R) on the properties of the precursors and powders was studied. The powders calcined at 1100 °C from the precursors with different R showed the same phase as the pure cubic Y 2 O 3 . However, the agglomerations of the calcined powders were influenced by the R evidently and the 5 at.%Yb:Y 2 O 3 powders with R = 4.0 showed better dispersivity. Using the obtained powders as starting materials, 5 at.%Yb:Y 2 O 3 transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum sintering and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-treating. The 5 at.%Yb:Y 2 O 3 ceramics with R = 4.0 possessed the best optical quality with the in-line transmittance of 81.2% at 1100 nm with fine grains. In addition, the microstructures of the 5 at.%Yb:Y 2 O 3 transparent ceramics with different R values were also studied and the HIP post-treated ceramics exhibited homogeneous microstructures. Meanwhile, the absorption and emission cross-sections of the 5 at.%Yb:Y 2 O 3 ceramics were calculated to be 0.99 × 10 −20 cm 2 at 976 nm and 0.97 × 10 −20 cm 2 at 1031 nm, respectively. The gain spectra also were obtained from the absorption and emission spectra.

Ytterbium doped lutetium oxide (Yb:Lu 2 O 3 ) transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum sintering combined with hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of the powders synthesized by the co-precipitation method. The effects of calcination temperature on the composition and morphology of the powders were investigated. Fine and well dispersed 5 at% Yb:Lu 2 O 3 powders with the mean particle size of 67 nm were obtained when calcined at 1100 °C for 4 h. Using the synthesized powders as starting material, we fabricated 5 at% Yb:Lu 2 O 3 ceramics by pre-sintering at different temperatures combined with HIP post-treatment. The influence of pre-sintering temperature on the densities, microstructures and optical quality of the 5 at% Yb:Lu 2 O 3 ceramics was studied. The ceramic sample pre-sintered at 1500 °C for 2 h with HIP post-treating at 1700 °C for 8 h has the highest in-line transmittance of 78.2% at 1100 nm and the average grain size of 2.6 µm. In addition, the absorption and emission cross sections of the 5 at% Yb:Lu 2 O 3 ceramics were also calculated.

Fluoro-sulfo-phosphate (FPS) glass is of current interest as potential material for laser application due to its good glass-forming ability, thermal, and chemical stability as well as the complicated local environment for incorporated species. Herein, the physical and luminescent properties of Er 3+ and Yb 3+ /Er 3+ -doped FPS glasses vs S/F ratio are investigated comprehensively. The low melting temperature (750°C) leads to fewer ingredients evaporation and easier operation. The sulfate addition depolymerizes the structure of FPS glasses, leading to either monotonic or nonmonotonic variations of physical properties, while no deterioration in thermal and limited one in chemical stability is caused. The addition of sulfate also modifies the local structure around optical active species and thus, leading to higher emission cross section (1.52 × 10 −20 cm 2 ), effective linewidth (68.4 nm), figure of merit (5.61 × 10 −23 s cm 2 ), gain bandwidth (102.44 × 10 −27 cm 3 ), and energy-transfer microparameters (51.87 × 10 −39 cm 6 /s), implying high possibility to serve as 1.5 μm laser application.

Laser glass has been widely used in laser ignition devices, fundamental physical research, and material processing. In addition to the exploration of the glass composition, the optimization of preparation conditions is also of crucial importance to the performance of laser glass. Herein, the modification effect of additional fluorine and sulfur agents on Nd 3+ -doped fluoro-sulfo-phosphate glasses (FSP) has been investigated in detail. The contents of F and S were increased by up to 42% and 40% after agent addition. Fluorine and sulfur agents also decrease the non-linear effect and increase the chemical durability of FSP glasses, respectively. Moreover, the local environment around Nd 3+ ions is examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)., The direct connection between Nd-F and the possible connection between Nd 3+ and [SO 4 ] 2− have been detected with agent addition, which facilitate the promotion of radiation parameters. The emission cross-section and quantum efficiency of FSP glass increase by up to 56% and 54% after agent addition. This study aims to demonstrate the structure and property variations brought by additional agents, providing insight into the optimization of the melting procedure of high-performance FSP laser glasses.

0.9 μm fiber lasers enable efficient generation of blue laser via second-harmonic conversion, which are essential light sources for applications such as undersea communications, laser displays, and biophotonic imaging. Glass fibers doped with Nd 3+ ions serve as the gain medium for these lasers; however, the competition from the four-energy-level transition 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 11/2 remains a significant challenge. Fluorophosphate (FP) glass combines the high rare-earth solubility of phosphate glasses with the low phonon energy of fluoride, particularly benefiting from large crystal field strength that enhances the 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 9/2 transition. Nonetheless, crystallization and phase separation in FP glass pose substantial challenges for this multi-component glass system. Herein, a novel Nd 3+ -doped Sr(PO 3 ) 2 −Ba(PO 3 ) 2 −AlF 3 −MgF 2 glass is reported. A thermodynamic approach was employed to predict the glass-forming region of the Sr(PO 3 ) 2 −AlF 3 −MgF 2 system, providing a robust design framework for FP compositions with superior glass-forming ability. Further investigations into the gradual substitution of Ba(PO 3 ) 2 to Sr(PO 3 ) 2 elucidate the structure-property relationship between the local network environment and Nd 3+ emission at 0.9 µm. The optimized FP glass demonstrates remarkable stability against crystallization (Δ T >100 °C), a high branching ratio (47.2 %), a large emission cross-section (2.36 × 10 −20 cm 2 ), an extended lifetime (334 μs), a high spectral quality factor (7.88 × 10 −24 cm 2 ·s), and a broad gain bandwidth (10.71 × 10 −26 cm 3 ) at 0.9 μm, surpassing previously reported glass hosts and establishing it as a highly promising host material for 0.9 μm fiber laser applications.
