(100-x)TeO(2)-xNb(2)O(5) (x=5-20) niobic tellurite glasses doped with 0.5 mol.% Er(2)O(3) were synthesized, and their thermal, mechanical, and spectroscopic properties were measured and compared to the properties of the typical 75TeO(2)-20ZnO-5Na(2)O (TZN) tellurite glass. The refractive index (n(d)), density (rho), and glass transition temperature (T(g)) of bulk glasses increase with the Nb(2)O(5) content. The Vickers microhardness (H(v)) of bulk glass in niobic tellurite glasses also increases with the Nb(2)O(5) content. The values (2.5-3.2GPa) of H(v) in the niobic tellurite glasses are 47-88% larger than that (1.7GPa) in TZN glass. The effect of Nb(2)O(5) content on absorption spectra, the Judd-Ofelt parameters Omega(t) (t=2, 4, 6), fluorescence spectra and the lifetimes of Er(3+):I(13/2) level were also investigated, and the stimulated emission cross-section was calculated from McCumber theory. With increasing Nb(2)O(5) content in the glass composition, the Omega(t) (t=2, 4, 6) parameters, fluorescence full width at half maximum (FWHM) of I(13/2) of Er(3+) increase, while the (4)I(13/2) lifetimes of Er(3+) decreases. Compared with TZN glass, the gain bandwidth properties of Er(3+)-doped TeO(2)-Nb(2)O(5) glass is much larger than in tellurite glass based TeO(2)-ZnO-Na(2)O system, bismush-based glass, germanate, and silicate glasses, which indicates that TeO(2)-Nb(2)O(5) glasses are better choice as a practical available host material for broadband Er(3+)-doped amplifier.

An ultrafast laser plasma doping (ULPD) technique is used for high concentration doping of erbium ions into silica-on-silicon substrate. The method uses a femtosecond laser to ablate material from TeO<sub>2</sub>-ZnO-Na<sub>2</sub>O-Er<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (Er-TZN) target glass. The laser-generated plasma modifies the silica network, producing a high-index-contrast optical layer suited to the production of on-chip integrated optical circuits. Cross-sectional analysis using scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy revealed homogeneous intermixing of the host silica with Er-TZN, which is unique to ULPD. The highly doped layer exhibits spectroscopic characteristics of erbium with photoluminescence lifetimes from 10.79 to 14.07 ms.
