Abstract

Efficient emission at 1.38 mu m wavelength from holmium (Ho³⁺)-doped low-phonon-energy gallate bismuth lead (GBL) oxide glasses, owing to the Ho³⁺: (⁵S₂, ⁵F₄) → ⁵I₅ transition, was observed, and the stimulated emission cross section was calculated to be 2.4 x 10^-21 cm². Population inversions between the (⁵S₂, ⁵F₄) and ⁵I₅ levels have been achieved, and a broad gain bandwidth from 1350 to 1450 nm was obtained. The large product of emission cross section and measured lifetime also support this characteristic. The results indicate that a Ho³⁺-doped GBL glass system is a promising candidate for the development of E-band (1360-1460 nm) fiber-optic amplifiers. © 2010 Optical Society of America
