Abstract

A new kind of Yb³⁺ borate laser glass containing high valency cations was reported in this work. B₂O₃-ZnO and B₂O₃-BaO glasses were chosen as the base glasses of Yb$3+)-BaO glasses were chosen as the base glasses of Yb³⁺ ions. Yb³⁺ ion has a large integrated absorption area in the former and longer fluorescent lifetime in the latter. The effect of Al³⁺, La³⁺, Ti³⁺, Zr⁴⁺, Nb⁴⁺ Ta⁵⁺, W⁶⁺ high valency cations on the absorption and fluorescent behaviors of Ba₂O₃-ZnO- R_mO_n-Yb₂O₃ and B₂O₃-BaO-R_mO_n-Yb₂O₃ glasses was examined. Some Yb³⁺ borate laser glasses with high cross section for stimulated emissions, good stability, good stability against devitrification and lower non-linear refractive index were presented.
