- Abstract
- Cross relaxation among Tm3+ ions in Ge30Ga2As6S62 glass, where an ion excited to the H-3(4) level transfers part of its energy to a nearby ion in the ground state H-3(6) (H-3(4), H-3(6) --> F-3(4), F-3(4),) was investigated in the temperature range of 20-300 K. The relative intensity ratio of the 1.48 mum emission to 1.84 mum increased with decreasing temperature. At the same time, the lifetime of the H-3(4) level increased. Analysis of decay curves of the 1.48 mum emission suggested that cross relaxation was assisted by phonons of 390 cm(-1) in frequency. These phonons are generated from the asymmetrical stretching vibration of GeS4 tetrahedra. Critical distance for cross relaxation decreased from 0.73 to 0.58 nm as the temperature decreased.
