✦ Synopsis

Ytterbium-doped low-phonon-energy glasses are promising materials for laser-induced cooling. In this context, the energies of Stark levels were established for the 2 F 5/2 and 2 F 7/2 states of Yb 3+ ions in glasses based on Ge, Ga or In sulphides associated with cesium chloride or cesium iodide. To do so, emission and absorption spectra, recorded at low temperature and room temperature, were deconvoluted. Quantum efficiency for the 2 F 5/2 emission was determined from calculated and measured lifetimes. A quantum efficiency close to unity was found for Yb 3+ emission at 77 K in Ge-In sulphide glass containing cesium iodide.

Planar optical waveguide fabricated in erbium-doped glasses became attractive due to their light emission at 1.5 m, thereby shown like candidates for optical amplifiers or waveguide lasers. In this study we focused on the influence of chemical compositions of specially formulated Er 3+ and Er 3+ /Yb
