Abstract:
A preparation method of rare earth ions doped alkali metal silicate luminescent glass is provided. The steps involves: step 1, mixing the source compounds of cerium, terbium and alkali metals and putting the mixture into solvent to get a mixed solution; step 2, impregnating the nanometer micropores glass with the mixed solution obtained in step 1; step 3: calcining the impregnated nanometer micropores glass obtained in step 2 in a reducing atmosphere, cooling to room temperature, then obtaining the cerium and terbium co-doped alkali metal silicate luminescent glass. Besides, the rare earth ions doped alkali metal silicate luminescent glass prepared with aforesaid method is also provided. In the prepared luminescent glass, cerium ions can transmit absorbed energy to terbium ions under the excitation of UV light due to the co-doping of cerium ions. As a result, the said luminescent glass has higher luminous intensity than the glass only doped with terbium.
Abstract:
The present invention embraces an amplifying optical fiber having a central core adapted to convey and amplify an optical signal and a cladding that surrounds the central core to confine the optical signal conveyed in the central core. The central core is formed of a core matrix in which nanoparticles are present. The nanoparticles themselves include a nanoparticle matrix and rare-earth-dopant elements. The core matrix may also include one or more additional dopants (i.e., in addition to nanoparticles). The amplifying optical fiber possesses a small numerical aperture and is suitable for use in high-pump-power applications without a degraded gain shape.

A first step, in which P2O5-containing glass is deposited inside a silica glass pipe, and a second step, in which a Cl2-containing gas is introduced into the pipe and the P2O5-containing glass is dehydrated by heating the pipe, are repeated alternately. A third step, in which glass that does not contain P2O5 is deposited on the inside of the silica glass pipe, may further be provided such that the first step, the second step, and the third step are repeatedly performed in this order. A rare-earth-doped optical fiber, which has a attenuation of 15 dB/km or less at a wavelength of 1200 nm, comprises a core region and a cladding region enclosing the core region, wherein the core region includes phosphorus of 3 wt % or more, aluminum of 0.3 wt % or more, a rare-earth element of 500 wtppm or more, and chlorine of 0.03 wt % or more, and the cladding region has a refractive index that is lower than the refractive index of the core region.
