Abstract

Abstract: Different SnO-containing oxide glasses with various net formers (silicate, phosphate, germanate, borate, and a number of mixed compositions) were investigated for the presence of near-infrared photoluminescence. It was found that SnO-containing silicate and germanate, and also a plurality of mixed glass compositions, exhibit wideband photoluminescence peaking at 1.5–1.6 µ m and with lifetimes in the order of 100 µ s. These glasses are interesting as promising active materials for widely tunable fiber lasers and wideband amplifiers.
