7 to 8 µm emission from Sm3+ doped selenide fibers

We report on the observation of the long wave-infrared (LWIR) emission centered at 7.3 µm of Sm3+ doped chalcogenide fibers. The chemical composition of the selenide glass host matrix (Ga5Ge20Sb10Se65) enables the drawing of 500 ppm and 1000 ppm Sm3+ doped fibers. By means of conventional glass elab...

Description
Summary:We report on the observation of the long wave-infrared (LWIR) emission centered at 7.3 µm of Sm3+ doped chalcogenide fibers. The chemical composition of the selenide glass host matrix (Ga5Ge20Sb10Se65) enables the drawing of 500 ppm and 1000 ppm Sm3+ doped fibers. By means of conventional glass elaboration methods, these Sm3+ doped fibered materials exhibit a significant emission band from 6.5 to 8.5 µm with a maximum emission around 7.3 µm whether they are excited at 1.45 µm or at 2.05 µm. Absorption spectra, Judd-Ofelt analysis, NIR, MWIR and LWIR luminescence spectra are presented and discussed.
