Aluminosilicate glasses can serve as visible luminescence materials

Monday, March 23, 2020 - 10:10 in Physics & Chemistry

Broadband emissions in the visible spectral range can be achieved by pumping Pr3+ doped in crystal, ceramic and glass. Fluoride glasses are commonly used as host material of gain fiber due to their low-energy phonon distribution. Unfortunately, poor mechanical strength, and chemical stability, challenging fabrication and expensive cost all limit their development and further application in practice.
