Abstract
The present invention relates to a dysprosium-doped tellurite or germanate glass characterised by a fluorescence peak in the mid-IR spectrum.
Claims15
A dysprosium-doped tellurite or germanate glass which exhibits a fluorescence peak attributable to the 6H13/2 to 6H15/2 transition in the mid-IR spectrum.
A laser assembly comprising:
- a gain medium composed of a dysprosium-doped tellurite or germanate glass which exhibits a fluorescence peak attributable to the 6H13/2 to 6H15/2 transition in the mid-IR sectrum;
- an exciter upstream from the gain medium and capable of exciting the gain medium into a mid-IR output;
- and
- a mechanism optically associated with the gain medium to provide optical feedback in the gain medium.
