Abstract
Infrared spectra and lifetimes of 4I13/2 state of Er3+ in tungsten-tellurite glasses doped with different concentrations of Er2O3 were measured and studied. Judd-Ofelt analysis on absorption spectra was performed. The lifetime of the 4I13/2 state decreases with the increase of the Er 3+ concentration due to energy transfer processes. The energy transfer coefficient of 1.6 × 10-18 cm3 s -1 was obtained. It is observed that the nonradiative relaxation rate of 4I11/2-4I13/2 transition of Er3+ in tungsten-tellurite glass is unchanged with the increase of Er3+ concentration, and about twice as that in TeO 2-ZnO-Na2O glass.
