Abstract

Abstract: Tm 3+ doped TeO2 -based well-dehydrated glasses were synthesized and investigated. The analysis of their spectral and relaxation properties have showed that these glasses can be a suitable host for bulk and fiber lasers emitting at ~2.3 µ m wavelength ( 3 H4 – 3 H5 Tm 3+ transition). Laser action in the bulk glass sample was demonstrated.
