Abstract
Optical absorption and emission spectra and fluorescence lifetimes were measured for in a series of five oxide glasses. Spectroscopic parameters such as the stimulated-emission cross section, the effective bandwidth of the transition, and the radiative lifetime of the level were obtained, and their dependence on the composition of the glass is described. In addition, the relative gain properties for the transition in various glasses are evaluated by the classic gain equation model.
