Holmium (Ho3+)-doped fluorotellurite microstructured fibers based on TeO2-BaF2-Y2O3 glasses are fabricated by using a rod-in-tube method. By using a 1.992 μm fiber laser as the pump source, lasing at 2.077 μm is obtained from a 27 cm long Ho3+-doped fluorotellurite microstructured fiber. The maximum unsaturated power is about 161 mW and the corresponding slope efficiency is up to 67.4%. The influence of fiber length on lasing at 2.1 μm is also investigated. Our results show that Ho3+-doped fluorotellurite microstructured fibers are promising gain media for 2.1 μm laser applications.

Crystallization from glass can lead to the stabilization of metastable crystalline phases, which offers an interesting way to unveil novel compounds and control the optical properties of resulting glass-ceramics. Here, we report on a crystallization study of the ZrF-TeO glass system and show that under specific synthesis conditions, a previously unreported TeZrOF zirconium oxyfluorotellurite antiglass phase can be selectively crystallized at the nanometric scale within the 65TeO-35ZrF amorphous matrix. This leads to highly transparent glass-ceramics in both the visible and near-infrared ranges.
