摘      要：A series of five different concentration erbium-doped tellurite glasses with various hydroxl groups were prepared. Infrared spectra of glasses were measured. In order to estimate the exact content of OH? groups in samples, various absorption coefficients of the OH? vibration band were analyzed under the different oxygen bubbling times. The absorption spectra of the glasses were measured, and the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ω i of samples with the different erbium ions concentration and OH? contents were calculated on the basis of the Judd-Ofelt theory. The peak stimulated emission cross-section of 4|13/2→4|15/2 transition of the samples was finally calculated by using the McCumber theory. The fluorescence spectra of Er3+:4|13/2→4|15/2 transition and the lifetime of Er3+:4|13/2 level of the samples were measured. The effects of OH? groups on the spectroscopic properties of Er3+ doped samples with the different concentrations were discussed. The results showed that the OH? groups had great influences on the Er3+ lifetime and the fluorescence peak intensity. The OH? group is a main influence factor of fluorescence quenching when the doping concentration of Er2O3 is smaller than 1.0 mol%, but higher after this concentration, the energy transfer of Er3+ ions turns into the main function of the fluorescence quenching. And basically, there is no influence on the other spectroscopic properties (FWHM, absorption spectra, peak stimulated emission cross section, etc.).
