Title :
Tm/sup 3+/ spectroscopy and amplifier performance of antimony silicate glasses
Author_Institution :
Corning Inc., NY, USA
Abstract :
Summary form only given. Antimony silicates are surprisingly good hosts for Tm/sup 3+/ for 14 xx applications. Compositional dependencies of thulium spectroscopy and 14 xx emission lifetimes will be reviewed, and the performance of Tm-doped antimony silicate gain media will be discussed.
