A novel Yb3+-Er3+ codoped phosphate glass for high power flashlamp pumping and high repetition rate laser at 1.54 μm, designated EAT5-2, is developed. The weight-loss rate of is 1.3×10-5 gcm-2h-l in boiling water, which is comparable to Kigres QX-Er glass. Some spectroscopic parameters are analysed by Judd-Ofelt theory and McCumber theory. The emission cross section is calculated to be 0.73×10-20 cm2. The thermo-mechanical properties of EAT5-2 are modified after an ion-exchange chemical strengthening process in a KNO3/NaNO3 molten salt bath. The thresholds for optical damage from the nashlamp pumping are tested on glass rods. A repetition rate of 15 Hz is achieved for chemically strengthened glass. The laser experimental results at 1.54 μm from nashlamp pumping are also reported.
