플로라이드, 설파이드 및 셀레나이드 유리에 각각 첨가된 홀뮴 이온의 $^{5}$ I$_{5}$ \$\longrightarrow$$^{5}$ I$_{7}$ 전자천이에 기인하는 1.6$\mu$m 형광의 여기 스펙트럼을 $^{5}$ I$_{5}$ 준위가 위치하는 ∼900nm 대역에서 측정하였다. $^{5}$ $F_{1}$ 준위로의 상향전이가 발생하는 특정 파장대역에서 1.6$\mu$m발광의 여기효율이 감소하는 현상이 플로라이드 및 설파이드 유리에서 관찰되었으나 셀레나이드 유리에서는 $^{5}$ I$_{8}$ \$\longrightarrow$$^{5}$ I$_{5}$ 흡수 스펙트럼과 여기 스펙트럼의 모양이 유사하였으며, 이러한 현상은 각 비정질 유전체 재료의 광학적 비선형성과 단파장쪽 투과단의 차이에 기인한다. 한편, Tb$^{3+}$ , Dy$^{3+}$ , Eu$^{3+}$ 또는 N$d^{3+}$ 이온을 공동 첨가함으로써 $^{5}$ I$_{7}$ 준위의 형광수명을 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있으나 Eu$^{3+}$ 이온을 제외한 나머지 공동 첨가제는 기저상태 흡수를 통하여 1.6 $\mu$m 대역에서의 흡수 손실을 크게 한다. 따라서 형광수명 감소 효과가 Tb$^{3+}$ 이온보다 크지는 않지만 추가적인 흡수 손실이 없는 Eu$^{3+}$ 이온이 공동 첨가제로 더 적합하다.

1.55$\mu$m 파장대 광증폭용 재료의 이득 파장대역 증대를 목적으로 Er$^{3+}$ 첨가 유리에 대해 thermal poling이 형광스펙트럼 의 반가폭(full width at half maximum)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 텔루라이트 유리(TeO$_2$-ZnO)의 경우 poling후 약 6%의 형광 반가폭 증가가 관찰된 반면 다른 유리에서는 감소하거나 변화가 없었다. 이와 같은 형광스펙트럼의 변화는 알려진 바와 같이 poling으로 인해 유리내에 생성된 전하 결핍층과 이러한 결핍층에 발생하는 잔류 정전기장 때문으로 판단된다. 실리케이트 등과 같은 다른 유리와는 달리 텔루라이트 유리에서만 Er$^{3+}$ 의 형광 반가폭이 증가한 것은 유리를 구성하고 있는 TeO$_4$에 존재하는 비공유 전자쌍과 밀접하게 관련되어 있을 것으로 추측된다.

Simple binary $Na_2S-SiO_2$ oxysulfide glasses were prepared by a conventional melt-quench method in order to investigate the role of sulfur in glass structure and the electronic state. By X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) measurement, S2p binding energy of the glass was observed at approximately 161eV which was close to that of ionic $S^{2-}$. The coordinating state around silicon atoms were investigated by ${29}^Si$ MAS-NMR measurement. The chemical shift observed from NMR supported that sulfur atom was joined to a silicon atom by substituting for an oxygen atom and was present as a non-bridging sulfide ion in low alkali content. On the other hand, it could be presumed that a portion of sulfur anions existed in an isolated state from the glass-network frame at high alkali content. The state of these sulfurs was also studied by Raman spectroscopy in detail.

An Er-doped sulfide fiber was drawn, and its spectroscopic properties were analyzed. Compositions of a 1000 ppmwt Er3+-doped core and an undoped clad were Ge30-Ga1-Asg-S61 and Ge30-As8-S62, in at.%, respectively. Refractive index of the core composition was approximately 0.01 high than that of the clad. In order to enhance the mechanical stability as well as to prevent infiltration of impurity ions such as OH-, an UV-curable polymer was used for the coating. The optical loss of a fiber formed directly from a polymer coated core rod without cladding was ∼15 dB/m at 1.06$\mu\textrm{m}$. In the case of a fiber with core/clad structure, the optical loss was so high that the stimulated emission of erbium fluorescence was not evident. It is believed that presence of inhomogeneous core/clad interface and crystalline aggregates precipitated in the clad region were responsible for the high optical loss. On the other hand, fluorescence characteristics of Er3+ embedded in the core region were more or loss deteriorate compared to fiber preform, which is attributed to the redistribution of the Er ions along with the partial crystallization of the core glass during the fiberization process.

Dy $L_3$-edge XANES and EXAFS spectra of chalcogenide Ge-As-S glass doped with ca. 0.2 wt% dysprosium have been investigated along with some reference Dy-containing crystals. Amplitude of the white-line peak in XANES spectrum of the glass sample turns out to be stronger than that of other reference crystals, i.e., $DY_2S_3,\;Dy_2O_3\;and\;DyBr_3$. It has been verified from the Dy $L_3$-edge EXAFS spectra that a central Dy atom is surrounded by $6.7{\pm}0.5$ sulfur atoms in its first coordination shell in the Ge-As-S glass, which is relatively smaller than 7.5 of the $Dy_2S_3$ crystal. Averaged Dy-S inter-atomic-distance of the glass ($2.78{\pm}0.01{\AA}$) also turns out to be somewhat shorter than that of the $Dy_2S_3$ crystal ($2.82{\pm}0.01{\AA}$). Such nanostructural changes occurring at Dy atoms imply there being stronger covalency of Dy-S chemical bonds in the Ge-As-S glass than in the crystal counterpart. The enhanced covalency in the nanostructural environment of $Dy^{3+}$ ions inside the glass would then be responsible for optical characteristics of the $4f{\leftrightarrow}4f$ transitions of the dopants, i.e., increase of oscillator strengths and spontaneous radiative transition probabilities.
