Thulium and/or Holmium doped silicate glasses for two micron lasers

摘要

A laser glass fiber with a core of the fiber comprising a silicate glass host, one or more glass network modifiers, one or more glass network intermediators, and Thulium ions, Holmium ions, or a combination of Thulium ions and Holmium ions. The fiber emits laser light from 1.7 micron to 2.2 micron.
