Notes:
This paper describes the preparation of new oxide host materials for Er3+ based on GeO2 by the sol-gel method. The characterization of these new materials is reported, with particular regard to the crystallization behavior: the tendency of GeO2 gels to crystallize during thermal treatment, in fact, is a critical problem. The investigated systems, powders and films, are GeO2-SiO2, with different compositions, and 80GeO220MxOy, with M = Nb, Sn, Ti, Te.
