The sizes of grown nanocrystals in glass matrix appear to be 35-50 nm from the X-ray diffraction （XRD） measurement. The microhardness measurement shows that the Vickers hardness values of the nanoerystallized tellurite glasses are larger （33%-62%） than those in the base glass. The Raman spectra imply that the maximum phonon energy of the based glass decreases and shifts from 668 to 638 cm^-1 after heat-treatment. Visible upconversion luminescence and infrared luminescence of the base glass and heat-treated glasses under 980-nm laser diode （LD） excitation are investigated. The 524-, 546- and 656-nm upconversion intensities by 980-nm pumping increase significantly.展开更多

The laser output power of 102.6 mW with 12.07% optical-to-optical conversion efficiency and 13.16% slope efficiency is obtained. The laser threshold is about 110 mW. Such a low threshold is in agreement with the theoretical prediction.展开更多
