Er3+/Yb3+Codoped Tungsten-tellurite Glasses:the Thermal Stability and Spectral Properties at 1.5 μm Band
has been introduced in the tellurite glasses due to the following two reasons: The first one is to increase the phonon energy and the!multi-phonon relaxation rate of the Er

which benefits the population inversion between the

.The second is to enhance the thermal stability against crystallization. The structural studies were done through FT-IR spectral analysis and revealed that these glasses contain TeO

sites results in inhomogeneous broadening of spectra and large emission cross-section at 1.5 μm band. The fluorescence full width at half maximum FWHM=77 nm
