TheInternational Symposium on Photonic Glasses (ISPG¨2002)
will be held on Oct.14-17, 2002 in Shanghai, China. Now call for papers! (2002/4)
New telecom materials were developed.(2002-1
)
Telecom
application: Two kinds of erbium glasses, erbium
aluminosilicate glass (SA series) and erbium phosphate
glass (WM series), for POWA application are developed
recently. SA series glass can be used as target and WM
series glass can be used as target and ion exchange. SA
series glass has wide fluorescent range and high glass
transition temperature. WM series glass has good
chemical durability and emission properties. Rare earth
ion concentration (both ytterbium and erbium) can be
designed according to the customer requirement.
