摘要
Relaxation of 1.54 mu m emission of the erbium doped borosilicate glasses with high rare earth solubility was investigated. When the erbium content is less than 0.2 wt%. multi-phonon relaxation is the predominant process of non-radiative relaxation. It is difficult to increase the quantum efficiency higher than 70% for erbium ions in this glass clue to multi-phonon relaxation. Because of the good glass-formation ability and high rare earth solubility, this glass will be suitable as a host for rare earth ions with a large energy gap, such as Yb3+, Eu3+ or Tb3+.
