Abstract
In recent years there has been considerable interest in cross relaxation processes between ions in rare earth doped glasses and crystals. In particular interest has focused on diode-pumped lasers and optical waveguide amplifiers based on rare earth ions. This thesis is concerned with developing a model, which can explain the population and depopulation processes which are responsible for the spectroscopic behaviour of Er3+ ions in fluoride glass materials. The model particularly concentrates on Er3+ :ZB(L)AN glasses with very heavy Er3+ doping levels. Under these circumstances the energy level dynamics can be dominated by non-linear multiple-ion cross relaxation processes.
