Sodium tellurite is an inorganic tellurium compound with formula Na2TeO3. It is a water-soluble white solid and a weak reducing agent. Sodium tellurite is an intermediate in the extraction of the element, tellurium; it is a product obtained from anode slimes and is a precursor to tellurium.
Modifying the optical response of rare earth doped inorganic glasses for diverse optical applications is the current challenge in materials science and technology. We report the enhancement of the visible emissions of the Sm3+ ions doped sodium-tellurite (TNS) glasses.
2.7 μm emission properties and energy transfer mechanism of Nd3+/Er3+ co-doped sodium tellurite glasses are investigated in present paper. Absorption and emission spectra were tested to characterize the 2.7 μm emission properties of Nd3+/Er3+ co-doped sodium tellurite glasses and a reasonable energy transfer mechanism of 2.7 μm emission between Er3+ and Nd3+ ions was proposed.
