摘要：

Phosphate glass samples with various Cr2O3, Yb2O3, and Er2O3 contents based upon 67P(2)O(5). 14Al(2)O(3). 14Li(2)O . 1K(2)O.4(Yb2O3 + Er2O3) were prepared. The effect of changing concentrations of Er3+ ions (0.1-1.5 x 10(19) ions cm(-3)) and sensitizers Cr3+ ion and Yb3+ ion (2-16 x 10(18) ions cm(-3) and 1.35-2.3 x 10(21) ions cm(-3) respectively) on laser performance were investigated. The thermal shock resistance of this glass was doubled after an ion-exchange chemical strengthening process in a KNO3/NaNO3 molten salt bath. Lasers with repetition rates of 20 Hz at free-running and 15 Hz at Q-switched single mode were demonstrated by utilizing chemically strengthened laser glass rods. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
