2 mu m high phosphorus content fluophosphate laser glass and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to fluorphosphate glass, fluophosphate laser glass of particularly a kind of 2 μ m highs content of phosphorus and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
In recent years, the solid statelaser of rear-earth-doped 2 μ m output has caused people's attention because of its extensive use.Because 1.93 μ m absorption peaks of 2 μ m laser and water are very near, and are shallow to the absorption penetration depth of biological tissue, are a kind of ideal medical lasers; In addition, 2 μ m laser have atmospheric extinction than low, to characteristics such as eye-safes, can be used for long range detection such as coherent Doppler wind-observation radar; Moreover 2 μ m laser apparatus are the optimum pumping sources that obtain 3~5 μ m optical parametric oscillators, have determined its effect militarily.Therefore no matter military or civilian, the development of 2 μ m laser apparatus all has urgent demand and important meaning.
The output of 2 μ m laser at first obtains by the holmium doped crystal.1865, U.S. Johnson reported first mixing Ho
3+The YGA crystal in obtain the output of 2.09 μ m.At present abroad a lot of to the research that obtains 2 μ m output by rear-earth-doped crystal, and that the Ho:YGA laser apparatus has been applied to is clinical medical.But shortcomings such as large-size crystals is difficult to prepare, rear-earth-doped concentration is little have limited its application.And rear-earth-doped glass optical fiber can be avoided these shortcomings of crystalline well.1998, Britain University of Southampton was first at Tm
3+Obtained 2 μ m output in the adulterated silica fibre; In the same year, Japanese NEC Corporation has realized Ho
3+: the 2 μ m output of ZBLAN optical fiber; 2003, French reyn university excited Tm
3+Adulterated ZBLAN fluoride glass has obtained the output of 1.8 μ m.Yet the phonon energy height of silica glass matrix, the rare earth ion fluorescence lifetime in silica glass is short, is difficult to realize narrow pulsewidth Q impulse output; Although and the phonon energy of fluoride glass is low, the relatively poor and harsh preparation condition of its chemical stability and physical strength has also limited its application in 2 μ m outputs.
Fluorphosphate glass is a kind of comparatively ideal substrate material, it combines the advantage of fluoride glass and phosphate glass, glass ingredient adjustability has in a big way been brought the adjustability of a series of optical properties, lower nonlinear refractive index and higher stimulated emission cross section make it be expected to become the superpower laser laser glass, and it has the fluorescence linewidth of broad and higher rare earth ion solubleness simultaneously.On preparation technology, it is than the easier preparation of fluoride glass in addition, and technology is ripe more, and this drawing for high quality, low loss fiber provides guarantee.But, at present both at home and abroad the research that realizes 2 mu m luminous fluorphosphate glasses also seldom is seen in report.

Selected and according to the molar percentage that above-mentioned glass is formed, calculate corresponding each weight percent of forming, take by weighing each raw material and mix; Compound is put into platinum crucible melt in 1020~1100 ℃ globars electric furnace, the clarification of fusing back is 10~15 minutes fully, glass metal is cast in the mould of preheating; Glass is moved into rapidly has been warming up to glass transformation temperature (T
g) in the following 10 ℃ retort furnace, be incubated 3~4 hours, reduce to room temperature with 10 ℃/hour speed again, glass sample is taken out in the cooling back fully.
The fluorphosphate glass of high content of phosphorus of the present invention has glass transparent, no crystallization, excellent in physical and chemical performance, stability parameter Δ T 〉=100 ℃.Down 2 very strong μ m fluorescence be can obtain the laser diode-pumped of 980nm or 800nm wavelength, the 2 mu m luminous rare-earth-ion-doped special glasss and the preparation and the application of fiber optic materials are applicable to.
