Abstract
Spectroscopic properties of
Er3+:Ga2Ge5S13 glass are
reported for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The low
maximum phonon energy of the host and a millisecond-long nearly
temperature-independent fluorescence lifetime of the
4I9/2 level, make this material promising as a
gain material for Mid-IR laser applications.
