A novel Er3+-Yb3+ codoped phosphate glass,which combines good chemical durability with good spectroscopic properties,is developed for the ion-exchange process.The relevant properties of this glass are presented for reference in the design and modelling of ion-exchanged active waveguide devices.The weight-loss rate of this glass is 1.45 × 10-5 g.cm-2.h-1 in boiling water,which is comparable to that of Kigres Q-246 silicate glass.The emission cross section of Er3+ in this glass is calculated to be 0.72 × 10-20 cm2 using the McCumber theory.It is found that a planar waveguide with three modes at 632.8 nm is readily realized in this glass from our primary ion-exchange experiments.
