Erbium-doped glass (Er Yb Glass) WM4
Our Er,Yb:glass, also known as erbium glass, is a laser glass with good overall performance. Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ co-doped phosphate glass is a well-known active medium emitting in the eye-safe 1.5–1.6-micrometer region. Lasers at 1540nm lie within the eye-safe and fiber-communication windows, enabling laser generation and signal amplification. Lasers at 1540nm are widely used in rangefinders, radar and target identification. Phosphate glass combines the long lifetime (~8 ms) of the Er³⁺ ⁴I₁₃/₂ upper laser level with the short-lived (2-3 ms) ²F₅/₂ excited state resonant with Yb³⁺. Rapid nonradiative multiphonon relaxation from ⁴I₁₁/₂ to ⁴I₁₃/₂ reduces back energy transfer and upconversion losses arising from interactions between Yb³⁺ and Er³⁺ ions excited at ²F₅/₂ and ⁴I₁₁/₂, respectively. As an LD-pumped eye-safe source at 1540nm, Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped phosphate glass can emit eye-safe 1540nm radiation directly applicable to laser rangefinders and telecommunications. An Er,Ybglass laser emitting at 1540nm requires no additional components. These compact, low-cost, eye-safe lasers have attracted substantial interest. EAT14 is Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ co-doped phosphate glass for high-repetition-rate (1-6Hz) laser-diode-pumped lasers at 1535nm. High Yb³⁺ doping is achievable in EAT14 glass.
