摘要
This payer presents experimental results on the mid-infrared emission of rare-earth doped gallium lanthanum sulphide glasses and fibres. Measured fluorescence includes the 3.4 mu m transition ((1)G(4) --> F-3(4)) in Pr3+-doped Ga:La:S fibre, the 3.6 mu m transition (F-4(9/2) --> I-4(9/2)) in Er3+-doped Ga:La:S fibre, and the 4.3 mu m transition (H-6(11/2) --> (H-6(11/2)) in Dy3+-doped Ga:La:S bulk glass. Fibre lasers with these emission wavelengths would be of interest for gas sensing applications.
