Abstract
We demonstrate laser induced cooling in ytterbium doped silica (SiO2) glass with alumina, yttria co-doping (GAYY-Aluminum: Yttrium: Ytterbium Glass) fabricated using the modified chemical vapour deposition (MCVD) technique. A maximum temperature reduction by - 0.9 K from room temperature (296 K) at atmospheric pressure was achieved using only 6.5 W of 1029 nm laser radiation. The developed fabrication process allows us to incorporate ytterbium at concentration of 4 × 1026 ions/m3 which is the highest value reported for laser cooling without clustering or lifetime shortening, as well as to reach a very low background absorptive loss of 10 dB/km. The numerical simulation of temperature change versus pump power well agrees with the observation and predicts, for the same conditions, a temperature reduction of 4 K from room temperature in a vacuum. This novel silica glass has a high potential for a vast number of applications in laser cooling such as radiation-balanced amplifiers and high-power lasers including fiber lasers.

Abstract
We report the theoretical and experimental investigation of a self-starting mode-locked fiber laser with a nanoengineered Tm3+-doped yttrium-alumina-silica (YAS) fiber as the gain medium. The YAS fiber exhibits a higher capability of Tm3+ cluster elimination than commercial silica fibers. The Tm3+ fluorescence properties and YAS dispersion are well characterized. As a result, an efficient picosecond mode-locked fiber laser is demonstrated with a slope efficiency of 14.14% and maximum pulse energy of 1.27 nJ. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first mode-locked fiber laser based on a Tm3+-doped YAS fiber. The experimental observation is also supported by the numerical analysis.

Abstract
Aluminoborosilicate glasses containing relatively high field strength modifiers (Ca, La, and Y) have been compressed at pressures up to 3 GPa and near the glass transition temperature (Tg) and quenched to room temperature at high pressure followed by decompression. Structural changes were quantified with high-resolution (27)Al and (11)B MAS nuclear magnetic resonance at 14.1-18.8 T. The changes with pressure in Al and B coordinations in the recovered samples are quite large with more than 50% decreases in tetrahedral aluminum ((IV)Al) and 200%-300% increases in tetrahedral boron ((IV)B). Glasses with higher field strength modifiers (La and Y) contain more high coordinated aluminum ((V,V I)Al) at all pressures studied. More high coordinated boron also correlates with higher field strength modifier if all three compositions are compared on an isothermal basis. Although lowering fictive temperature and increasing pressure both increase Al and B coordinations, our study shows that the actual mechanisms for structural changes are most probably different for temperature and pressure effects. Using a rough thermodynamic model to extrapolate to higher pressures, it appears that a simple non-bridging oxygen (NBO) consumption mechanism is not sufficient to convert all the aluminum to octahedral and boron to tetrahedral coordination, suggesting other mechanisms for structural changes could occur at high pressure as NBO becomes depleted.

Abstract
AbstractThe structural effects of yttrium (Y) and cerium (Ce) are investigated when substituted for sodium (Na) in a 0.52SiO2–0.24SrO–(0.24−x)Na2O–xMO (where x = 0.08; MO = Y2O3 and CeO2) glass series. Network connectivity (NC) was calculated assuming both Y and Ce can act as a network modifier (NC = 2.2) or as a network former (NC up to 2.9). Thermal analysis showed an increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) with increasing Y and Ce content, Y causing the greater increase from the control (Con) at 493∘C to 8 mol% Y (HY) at 660∘C. Vickers hardness (HV) was not significantly different between glasses. 29Si Magic Angle Spinning-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS-NMR) did not show peak shift with addition of Y, however Ce produced peak broadening and a negative shift in ppm. The addition of 4 mol% Ce in the YCe and LCe glasses shifted the peak from Con at −81.3 ppm to −82.8 ppm and −82.7 ppm respectively; while the HCe glass produced a much broader peak and a shift to −84.8 ppm. High resolution X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy for the O 1s spectral line showed the ratio of bridging (BO) to non-bridging oxygens (NBO), BO:NBO,was altered,where Con had a ratio of 0.7, HY decreased to 0.4 and HCe to 0.5.

Abstract
Al codoping can improve the poor solubility of rare-earth ions in silica glasses. However, the mechanism is not well understood. The coordination structure around Nd ions in sol-gel-derived Nd-Al-codoped silica glasses with different Al content was investigated by optical and pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. Both tetrahedral AlO4 and octahedral AlO6 units were observed around Nd ions as ligands. The average total number of these two types of ligands for each Nd(3+) ion was ∼ 2 irrespective of Al content and was larger by 1-2 orders of magnitude than that calculated for a uniform distribution of codopant ions (∼ 0.08-0.25). With increasing Al content, AlO4 units disappeared and AlO6 units became dominant. The preferential coordination of AlOx (x = 4, 6) units to Nd ions enabled the amount of Al necessary to dissolve Nd ions uniformly in silica glass at a relatively low temperature of 1150-1200 °C to be minimized, and the conversion of AlO4 units to AlO6 units around Nd ions caused the asymmetry of the crystal field at the Nd sites to increase and the site-to-site distribution to decrease.

Abstract
We have investigated by (27)Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy some compositions in the Ln(2)O(3)-Al(2)O(3)-SiO2 (Ln = Y or La) ternary phase diagram containing more than 60 mol % of SiO2. One- and two-dimensional high-field (17.6 T) high-speed (30 kHz) magic angle spinning experiments have been performed along with simulations of the spectra to quantify the amount of penta-coordinated aluminum present in those glasses as a function of composition. Very high-temperature experiments have allowed to follow selected samples from 2200 degrees C down to 1700 degrees C and hence to characterize the aluminum coordination state and dynamics in those liquids. The present study re-enforces the current view that "minor" species such as penta-coordinated aluminum are actually present in a considerable amount in aluminosilicate glasses, and high-temperature liquids at and above the charge compensation join. The high-field strength of Y3+ and La3+ reveal, for the first time in glasses, a different mean electric field gradient perceived by the tetra- and penta-coordinated aluminum environments. The movements responsible for the NMR relaxation of aluminum in the high-temperature liquid are shown to be uncorrelated with the movements responsible for the macroscopic shear viscosity. Results obtained both on glasses and in situ at high-temperature suggest a preferential localization of Ln3+ nearby tetra-coordinated aluminum species, with possible formation of tricluster and/or Ln3+ coordination changes.

Abstract
The codoping effect mechanism of Al and P on the solubility enhancement of Er(3+) ion in SiO(2) glass was clarified by electron spin-echo envelope modulation spectroscopy. It turned out that doped P ions preferentially coordinate to the Er(3+) ion to form a "solvation shell structure", and the environment is similar to that in phosphate glass, while doped Al ions do not form such a selective solvation structure, taking octahedral coordination. This striking difference indicates that the primary roles of the P-doping and the Al-doping are attributed to "enthalpy of mixing" and to "entropy of mixing", respectively.

Abstract
In a series of sodium aluminoborate glasses, we have applied triple-quantum magic-angle spinning (3QMAS) 17O NMR to obtain high-resolution information about the connections among various network structural units, to explore the mixing of aluminum and boron species. Oxygen-17 3QMAS spectra reveal changes in connectivities between AlO4 ([4]Al), AlO5 and AlO6 ([5,6]Al), BO3 ([3]B) and BO4 ([4]B) units, by quantifying populations of bridging oxygens such as Al-O-Al, Al-O-B and B-O-B and of non-bridging oxygens. Several linkages such as [4]Al-O-[4]Al and three-coordinated oxygen associated with [5,6]Al in Al-O-Al, [4]Al-O-[4]B, [4]Al-O-[3]B and [5,6]Al-O-[3]B in Al-O-B as well as [4]B-O-[3]B and [3]B-O-[3]B in B-O-B can be distinguished for the first time. The fractions of these linkages were calculated from models of random mixing and of mixing with maximum avoidance of tetrahedral-tetrahedral linkages. The results suggest that the structure of all of glasses in this study is well approximated by the latter model. However, the energetic "penalty" for formation of [4]Al-O-[4]B may be somewhat less than for [4]Al-O-[4]Al and [4]B-O-[4]B. In general, the new results presented here are similar to those obtained on glasses in this system by 27Al{11B} REDOR NMR (J. Phys. Chem. B 104 (2000) 6541), but provide considerably more detail on network connectivity and ordering schemes.

Abstract
The concentrations of non-bridging oxygens (NBO) in oxide glasses has major effects on their properties and on those of their precursor glass melts. In borate and borosilicate glasses, the presence of NBO bonded to boron has generally been inferred from 11B NMR spectra and mass balance considerations. Here we report the direct observation of such NBO using 17O MAS and 3QMAS techniques, and compare estimates of their populations with those derived from high-resolution 11B MAS spectra. For the latter, two independent methods are used, based on the ratios of trigonal to tetrahedral boron and on the concentrations of trigonal boron sites with large quadrupolar asymmetry parameters. We include data on crystalline sodium pyroborate (Na4B2O5) and sodium metaborate (NaBO2), and several sodium and barium borate glasses. 17O chemical shifts and quadrupolar coupling constants for NBO bonded to boron vary considerably depending on their coordination environment. In borosilicates, peaks for this species may be hidden by overlap with B-O-Si or Si-O-Si resonances.
