Abstract

New broadband near infrared luminescence covering the whole work windows (1260-1625 nm) of the current wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system was found from bismuth-activated M₂O-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ (M = Li, Na) and Li₂O-Ta₂O₅-SiO₂ glasses at room temperature in the case of 808 nm-laser excitation. But the near infrared luminescence mechanism of the bismuth-activated glasses is not well understood up to now. The figure-of-merits of bandwidth and gain of the glasses are better than those of Er³⁺-doped silicate glasses and Ti³⁺ doped sapphire, implying they are the promising gain-medium candidates for the broadband amplifiers and the widely tunable laser sources.
