title: Tm(3+)-Doped Tellurite Glass for a Broadband Amplifier at 1.47 num.
abstract: Tm(3+)-doped tellurite glass is investigated as a host for a broadband amplifier at 1.47 mum. The Tm(3+) fluorescence spectrum, lifetime, and cross section in tellurite glass are compared with those in fluorozirconate glasses. The advantages of a Tm(3+)-tellurite amplifier, especially when it is employed in combination with an Er(3+)-tellurite 1.55-mum amplifier, are discussed.
