Abstract

A new type of fluoride glasses with high erbium-doping concentration (up to 6 mol. % ${Er}^{3 +}$ ) is investigated. The intensive 2.7 μm fluorescence is demonstrated with minimized concentration quenching. The intensity parameters and radiative properties are determined from the absorption spectrum based on the Judd–Ofelt theory. The prepared ${Er}^{3 +}$ -doped ZBYA glass possesses high predicted spontaneous-transition probability ( $28.92 s^{- 1}$ ) and large calculated emission cross section ( $9.8 \times 10^{- 21} {cm}^{2}$ ). All these results indicate that this ${Er}^{3 +}$ -doped ${ZrF}_{4}$ -based fluoride glass has potential applications in 2.7 μm laser materials.
