Investigation of Thermal Sensing in Fluoroindate Yb 3+/Er 3+ Co-Doped Optical Fiber. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:2139. [PMID: 36984018 PMCID: PMC10057737 DOI: 10.3390/ma16062139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
An investigation of fluoroindate glass and fiber co-doped with Yb3+/Er3+ ions as a potential temperature sensor was assessed using the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique. Analysis of thermally coupled levels (TCLs-2H11/2 and 4S3/2), non-thermally coupled levels (non-TCLs-4F7/2 and 4F9/2), and their combination were examined. Additionally, the luminescent stability of the samples under constant NIR excitation using different density power at three different temperatures was carried out. The obtained values of absolute sensitivity (0.003 K-1-glass, 0.0019 K-1-glass fiber 2H11/2 → 4S3/2 transition) and relative sensitivity (2.05% K-1-glass, 1.64% K-1-glass fiber 4F7/2 → 4F9/2 transition), as well as high repeatability of the signal, indicate that this material could be used in temperature sensing applications.

The Effect of Fluorides (BaF 2, MgF 2, AlF 3) on Structural and Luminescent Properties of Er 3+-Doped Gallo-Germanate Glass. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:5230. [PMID: 35955165 PMCID: PMC9369573 DOI: 10.3390/ma15155230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
The effect of BaF2, MgF2, and AlF3 on the structural and luminescent properties of gallo-germanate glass (BGG) doped with erbium ions was investigated. A detailed analysis of infrared and Raman spectra shows that the local environment of erbium ions in the glass was influenced mainly by [GeO]4 and [GeO]6 units. Moreover, the highest number of non-bridging oxygens was found in the network of the BGG glass modified by MgF2. The 27Al MAS NMR spectrum of BGG glass with AlF3 suggests the presence of aluminum in tetra-, penta-, and octahedral coordination geometry. Therefore, the probability of the 4I13/2→4I15/2 transition of Er3+ ions increases in the BGG + MgF2 glass system. On the other hand, the luminescence spectra showed that the fluoride modifiers lead to an enhancement in the emission of each analyzed transition when different excitation sources are employed (808 nm and 980 nm). The analysis of energy transfer mechanisms shows that the fluoride compounds promote the emission intensity in different channels. These results represent a strong base for designing glasses with unique luminescent properties.
