APPLICATION OF JUDD-OFELT THEORY UPON CHLOFLUOROPHOSPHATE GLASS DOPED WITH ERBIUM

Abstract

A series of erbium doped glasses chlorofluorophosphates were prepared and characterized. The absorption spectra were analyzed to determine the Judd-Ofelt parameters. The optical performance of these doped glasses suggesting the relevance of these glasses for optical fiber/ wave guide lasers and optical amplifiers.
