Abstract

We report the superbroadband photoluminescence extending from 1.3 to 1.7 μm in Neodymium(Nd ³⁺)/Thulium(Tm ³⁺)/Erbium(Er ³⁺) codoped fluorotellurite glasses under 793 nm excitation. This superbroadband luminescence is contributed by the Nd ³⁺: ⁴F _3/2→ ⁴I _13/2, Tm ³⁺: ³H ₄→ ³F ₄, and Er ³⁺: ⁴I _13/2→ ⁴I _15/2 transitions that lead to broadband emissions located at 1.34, 1.47, and 1.53 μm, respectively. Broadband emission spectrum is also obtained in the ion-exchanged planar waveguide fabricated on Nd ³⁺/Tm ³⁺/Er ³⁺ codoped fluorotellurite glass. The results indicate that other than active Bismuth (Bi), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), and other chemical elements, Nd ³⁺/Tm ³⁺/Er ³⁺ codoping is a promising alternative for the broadband luminescence sources covering the expanded low-loss window.
