Numerical Rate Equation Modeling of a similar to ~2.1-um - Tm3+/Ho3+ Co-Doped Tellurite Fiber Laser
PH-1: This joint theory-experimental paper arose from an EPSRC Basic Technology project (EP/D048672, PI:Jha, £1,223,617) to develop integrated semiconductor-active glass devices. Building on our earlier work (Journal of Lightwave Technology 27, 4026 (2009)) in which our rate equation approach was applied to fibre lasers, we extracted the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters for Tm3+ and Ho3+ doped tellurite glasses for the first time. This led to development of long wavelength (>2.1µm) and broadband Tm3+ and Ho3+ co-doped fibre lasers, and funded follow-on applications in telecoms, sensing and healthcare e.g. US Office of Naval Research ($40k, 2011), and EPSRC (EP/K020234, PI:Jha, £997,424).
