Tellurite Glass Smart Materials

Abstract

In this chapter, we present the versatile examples and optical properties of zinc oxyfluorotellurite glasses doped with rare earth ions, and current challenges in this field are discussed. Zinc-tellurite glasses are among the most important heavy metal glass compositions with a wide range of excellent structural, thermal, chemical, and optical properties. When doped with rare earth ions, zinc-tellurite glasses show superior properties than other glass compositions, such as wide broadband luminescence and efficient upconversion emissions of Er3+ ions, as well as high rare earth solubility, which facilitate the incorporation of sensitizers such as Ce3+ and Yb3+ ions. When modified with some fluoride components, the optical and thermal stability of rare-earth-doped zinc-tellurite glasses does not change drastically, while the average phonon energy stays in a low-range energy, and the excited state lifetime of the rare-earth ions increases due to the different site symmetry provided by F−1 ions rather than O−2 ions. The recent developments in the oxyfluorotellurite glasses doped with rare earth ions are given in this chapter, which will be compared to those achieved with the zinc-tellurite oxide glasses.
