Abstract
Thulium doped fluoroindogallate glass was characterized by means of excited state absorption experiment in the 0.95 to 1.55 μm spectral range. The three bands corresponding to the electronic transitions 3 F 4→3 F 2 (at 1.05 μm), 3 F 4→3 F 3 (at 1.125 μm), and 3 F 4→3 H 4 (at 1.45 μm) were observed. The energy transfer microscopic parameters for the reverse cross relaxation process 3 F 4, 3 F 4→3 H 6, 3 H 4 were calculated for different multipolar interaction mechanisms using the Kushida model, and it was verified that the probability of this process is 100 times lower than that of the direct 3 H 4, 3 H 6→3 F 4, 3 F 4 cross relaxation, responsible for the 1.8 μm emission pumping.
