Abstract
Dy3+-doped stabilized-GeGaS sulfide glasses are synthesized and characteriz ed. When antimony is added to GeGaS, the glass shows very weak crystallizat ion upon heating as compared to standard compositions. Because of the low p honon energy inherent in sulfide glasses, the 1.3 mu m emission of Dy3+ ion s can be observed. This transition is characterized in terms of emission cr oss-section and quantum efficiency. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ ts reserved.
