摘要
The Bi2O3 modified alumino-silicate glasses, when excited at 800 nm exhibited a broadband emission of Cr4+ in the range of 1.2 to similar to1.6 mum at room temperature. The mean lifetime of (E-1 -(3)A(2))-->T-3(1) transition in Cr4+-doped glass at RT was as long as similar to426 mus, enabling the realization of both tunable lasers and broadband fiber amplifiers. The Cr4+ emission at RT also showed the dependency on the excitation wavelength and site distribution within the chosen glass host. A photoinduced charge transfer process from the Cr3+ ion into Cr4+ ion appears to be responsible for the excitation of Cr4+. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
