Propriedades Ãpticas dos vidros Er3+:PbPO4 / Optical Properties of the Er3+:PbPO4 Glasses

Clenilton Costa dos Santos 02 July 2010 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Neste trabalho utilizamos vÃrias tÃcnicas para investigar as propriedades Ãpticas dos vidros fosfato de chumbo (PbPO4) com concentraÃÃes moderadamente altas de Ãons de Ãrbio (Er3+), EDLP. Medimos a susceptibilidade de terceira ordem, χ3, e a dispersÃo do Ãndice de refraÃÃo linear, n0(λ), dos vidros EDLP na regiÃo de comprimento de onda entre 400 e 1940 nm, por meio da tÃcnica de Franjas de Maker. A partir do valor de χ3, calculamos o Ãndice de refraÃÃo nÃo-linear, n2, cujo valor à cerca de cinco vezes maior que o da sÃlica (SiO2). TambÃm obtivemos os valores de n2 dos vidros EDLP, atravÃs da tÃcnica de varredura Z para vÃrios comprimentos de onda. A diferenÃa entre os valores obtidos pelas duas tÃcnicas foi de 15%. Realizamos medidas de absorÃÃo Ãptica, cujos dados foram utilizados para calcular os parÃmetros fenomenolÃgicos Ωλ da teoria de Judd-Ofelt. Observamos que Ω4 e Ω6 permanecem praticamente constante com o aumento da concentraÃÃo de Er3+, ao passo que Ω2 diminui. Excitando as amostras em 800 nm foi possÃvel verificar emissÃes no verde, vermelho e infravermelho, centradas em 530, 550, 660 e 1530 nm, respectivamente. O tempo de vida da transiÃÃo 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 (em 1530 nm) do Er3+ diminui com o aumento da concentraÃÃo de Er3+, refletindo o quÃo importante à o processo nÃo-radiativo associado a esta transiÃÃo. A teoria de McCumber foi usada para calcular, a partir da seÃÃo de choque de absorÃÃo, a seÃÃo de choque da emissÃo estimulada da transiÃÃo 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 do Er3+. Observamos e analisamos uma forte reabsorÃÃo da fluorescÃncia em 1530 nm. Finalmente, discutimos a aplicabilidade dos vidros EDLP em dispositivos fotÃnicos. / In this work we employ several techniques to investigate the optical properties of moderately high Er3+-doped lead phosphate (EDLP) glasses. The third-order optical susceptibility, χ3, and dispersion of the linear refractive index, n0(λ), of Er3+:PbPO4 were measured in the wavelength range between 400 and 1940 nm by using the spectrally resolved femtosecond Maker fringes technique. The nonlinear refractive index, n2, obtained from the third-order susceptibility was found to be five times higher than that of silica. For comparison purposes, the Z-scan technique was also employed to obtain the values of n2 of EDLP at several wavelengths, and the values obtained using the two techniques agree to within 15%. From the data obtained by absorption measurements, the Judd-Ofelt theory was employed to calculate the intensity-dependent parameters Ωλ (λ = 2, 4, and 6). We observed that increasing Er3+ content, Ω4 and Ω6 remain constant, while Ω2 decreases. Green, red, and infrared emissions centered at 530, 550, 660, and 1530 nm were observed under excitation at 800 nm. The lifetime of the Er3+: 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 (1530 nm) transition decreases with increasing Er3+ content, reflecting how significant the non-radiative process associated with this transition is. The McCumber theory was used to calculate, from absorption cross-section, the stimulated emission cross-section of the Er3+: 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition. A strong re-absorption of the fluorescence at 1530 nm was also observed and analyzed. Finally, we discuss the potential use of Er3+:PbPO4 glasses in photonics devices.
