摘 要：Erbium (Er3+) doped phosphate glasses was prepared and the optical properties of these glasses were investigated. The emission parameters were calculated using the Judd-Ofelt treatment. The radiative lifetime of the 4I13/2 level is calculated to be 7.2ms. The fluorescence lifetime is measured to be 6ms, and the quantum efficiency is estimated to be 83%. Ion-exchanged optical waveguides were fabricated in these glasses by using pure KNO3 meet at 370℃, and diluted AgNO3 molten salt at 270℃. It was found that the lower temperature diluted AgNO3 molten salt is better for the ion exchange process. Planar waveguide with 5 modes at the 633nm and 2 modes at the 1550nm was demonstrated using the diluted AgNO3. Our results show that phosphate glass is a potential candidate for the 1.5μm optical amplifier device.
