“…The material for nanostructured core was developed with the active made-in-house phosphate glass, which was doped with a very high Yb2O3 concentration of 6 mol% (15.69×10 20 Yb 3+ /cm 3 ). The glass material was characterized in detail in the previous work [21]. The next type of glass responsible for emission at 1.5 μm band was the phosphate glass codoped with Er2O3/ Yb2O3 with proportions 0.5 mol.…”

In recent years the novel active glass materials for optical fibers with broadband emission are of great interest due to potential application in spectroscopy, environmental monitoring or medicine. Development of that kind materials is based on elaborating the glass matrix co-doped with different rare earth ions, e.g. Er, Yb, Ho, Tm. Glasses doped with multiple rare earths characterize with a high number of spectroscopic parameters, due to the presence of energy transfer phenomena between those different rare earth ions. Nonlinear nature of that phenomena varying with the dopants concentration levels, makes the design and development of optical fibers made of glass doped with several active ions not trivial. In this work, we present the nanostructured material composed of several separated glass areas with subwavelength size with individually designed parameters. As a proof-of-concept, we propose the active phosphate fiber with the core consisted of two types of glasses doped with Yb3+ and Er 3+ ions, which exhibit independent performance. The presented phosphate fiber laser operates simultaneously at dual wavelengths at 1.04 μm and 1.535 μm with very good beam quality of M2=1.14 and slope efficiency of 23.0% and 9.8%, respectively. To our knowledge, this kind of fiber has not been demonstrated previously

“…A few studies (codoped with Er 3+ ) were given in the previous paragraph. Now Yb 3+ has also been singly doped in several host glass materials like yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) ceramics, 63 tellurite glasses, 102 double-clad fiber, 103 phosphate glasses, 101,104 fluorophosphate glasses, 105 etc. Furthermore, Yb 3+ has been codoped with Ce 3+ in aluminosilicate fiber 106 and Ce 3+ /P in fluoroaluminosilicate fiber.…”

In small- and large-scale industries, manipulable optical characteristics are desired. In this regard, rare-earth oxides (REOs) have been providing pragmatic attributes in terms of successful implementations and promising prospects throughout the last few decades. Currently, there is no comprehensive literature review on REOs that can aid researchers in focusing on industry-relevant emerging materials. Therefore, this review reports studies that have been able to experimentally utilize the physical, chemical, thermal, electronic, spectroscopic, and photocatalytic properties of REOs in the optical field. The brief and focused review finds that the most pronounced applications of REOs in the optical field are in white light and laser, while the prospective ground likely lies in optoelectronics, fiber optic applications, and miscellaneous repertoires that incorporate an innovative utilization of an electronic configuration of REOs. From the perspective of this review, the versatility of an REO in the optical field has become prominent and quantified by the successful implementations of REOs in white light and nonwhite light applications. Furthermore, the innovative applications of REOs include but are not limited to the development of solid-state optical devices, optoelectronic systems, and photocatalytic agents. Specifically, their futuristic applications are likely to be led by the development of stronger emission devices and the obtaining of flexible doping characteristics by several ions such as Li+, Eu3+, Dy3+, Nd3+, La3+, Yb3+, etc. at different levels, which will render the pathway for further exploration in this regard. However, the improvement in terms of methodological attributes requires a serious consideration of overcoming the limitation of thermal stability, lack of exploration of several types of lights, photodarkening in critical applications, lack of applicability at a wide range of temperatures, and so on. From an industrial perspective, it can be conjectured from the reported literature that the challenges will be overcome at a large scale within a few years due to the expedited technological advancements of the experimental repertoires, rendering the REO applications in the optical field reasonably economic and commercially viable. In short, this is the first review that objectively considers the applications and prospects of REOs, which will essentially invoke several studies to investigate the specific properties and viability of REOs in the optical field.

“…Among the different inorganic glass systems, phosphate glasses have been studied for numerous industrial applications [ 24 , 25 ] and for broad optical applications in the range of visible luminescence [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ] and infrared luminescence [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. These glass materials containing rare earth ions such as Nd 3+ , Yb 3+ , Er 3+ can be successfully used for high-power laser systems, optical amplifiers and optical sensors due to their excellent luminescent properties [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”

The effect of oxide modifiers on multiple properties (structural and spectroscopic) of phosphate glasses with molar composition 60P2O5-(10−x)Ga2O3-30MO-xEu2O3 and 60P2O5-(10−y)Ga2O3-30MO-yEr2O3 (where M = Ca, Sr, Ba; x = 0, 0.5; y = 0, 1) were systematically examined and discussed. The local structure of systems was evidenced by the infrared (IR-ATR) and Raman spectroscopic techniques. The spectroscopic behaviors of the studied glass systems were determined based on analysis of recorded spectra (excitation and emission) as well as luminescence decay curves. Intense red and near-infrared emissions (1.5 μm) were observed for samples doped with Eu3+ and Er3+ ions, respectively. It was found that the value of fluorescence intensity ratio R/O related to 5D0→7F2 (red) and 5D0→7F1 (orange) transition of Eu3+ ions depends on the oxide modifiers MO in the glass host. However, no clear influence of glass modifiers on the luminescence linewidth (FWHM) was observed for phosphate systems doped with Er3+ ions. Moreover, the 5D0 and 4I13/2 luminescence lifetimes of Eu3+ and Er3+ ions increase with the increasing ionic radius of M2+ (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) in the host matrix. The obtained results suggest the applicability of the phosphate glasses with oxide modifiers as potential red and near-infrared photoluminescent materials in photonic devices.
