Glasses of composition x RE ₂ O ₃ -(17− x ) La ₂ O ₃ -83 TiO ₂ were prepared by levitation melting from x = 0.1 to 9 for RE=Er and at x =0.1 and 1 for RE=Dy. The glasses have high transition temperature, exhibit low OH, and 1 mm thick discs are transparent out to 6 μ m. Mid-infrared emission lineshapes and lifetimes are comparable to what is seen in tellurite glasses containing Er ³⁺ and Dy ³⁺ . For x fixed at 1, the Er ³⁺ : ⁴ I _11/2 → ⁴ I _13/2 transition at 2716 nm has a fluorescence lifetime of 254 μ s and the Dy ³⁺ : ⁶ H _13/2 → ⁶ H _15/2 transition at 2957 nm has a fluorescence lifetime of 9.09 μ s. The results indicate that doped lanthanum titanate glasses offer the thermal stability of a ’hard’ glass with the host properties typically associated with ’soft’ glasses. Problems with the measurement of spectral features in the mid-infrared that could erroneously be assigned as resulting from rare-earth ion emissions are presented and discussed.
