Abstract

Ytterbium doped sodium phosphotellurite glasses are made with different Yb³⁺ concentrations. Physical properties of the new glasses are reported. The glasses show high absorption and emission cross-sections and higher lifetime of [equation] transition. Laser performance parameter σ_e × τ_f, with a value as high as 2.14×10^-20 cm²-ms and the laser threshold intensity as low as 1.79 KW/cm² are reported. The laser parameters of these Yb³⁺ doped glasses show that they are potential to fabricate high power laser and broadband optical amplifiers.
