Preparation and properties of GeGaS glasses for laser hosts

TLDR
In this paper, the preparation and purification of GeGa-S glasses were studied and the effects of Ga and S contents on glass transition and crystallization temperatures, density, refractive index and spontaneous emission probabilities from the 4 F 3 2 level of Nd 3+ were examined.
Abstract
The preparation and purification of GeGaS glasses were studied. A purified glass doped with 1000 ppm Pr 3+ exhibits a quantum efficiency of 50% in the 1 G 4 → 3 H 5 transition at 1.3 μm based on fluorescence lifetime measurement and Judd-Ofelt analysis. The effects of Ga and S contents on glass transition and crystallization temperatures, density, refractive index and spontaneous emission probabilities from the 4 F 3 2 level of Nd 3+ were examined. Compositional dependences of properties are discussed in terms of bond types.
