Abstract
The Bi/Sn-doped aluminosilicate glass samples were prepared using a melting–quenching method and their near-infrared (NIR) emission properties were studied. An ultra-broadband NIR emission ranging from 950 nm to 1600 nm was observed in all samples under 480 nm excitation, which covered the whole fiber low-loss window. The NIR emission spectrum showed that the maximum emission peak was about 1206 nm and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was about 220 nm. Furthermore, the NIR emission intensity strongly depends on the composition of the glass, which can be optimized by modulating the glass composition. The Bi0 and Bi+ ions were the NIR luminescence source of the glass samples in this paper. The Bi/Sn-doped aluminosilicate glass has the potential to become a new type of core fiber material and to be applied to optical fiber amplifiers (OFAs), based on its excellent performance in ultra-broadband NIR emission.
