The study of materials emitting in the mid-infrared (MIR) region, particularly around 3 µm, is of significant interest due to their potential applications as gain media in lasers. Laser’s utilising Er3+doped media have diverse applications in soft-tissue medicine as their emission wavelength closely aligns with the fundamental stretching vibration of O-H at 2.95 µm. This Application Note, the photoluminescence spectrum and photoluminescence lifetime of an Er3+doped ZnF2-BaF2-SrF2YF3 (ZBSY-e) glass are characterised using an Edinburgh Instruments FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer
