简介：Inthispaper,wepresenttheluminescentpropertiesofTm3+∕Ho3+co-dopednewglass.Aseriesofsilicategermanateglasswaspreparedbytheconventionalmelt-quenchingmethod.IntheTm3+∕Ho3+co-dopedsilicategermanateglass,astrongemissionof2μmoriginatingfromtheHo3+:5I7→5I8transitioncanbeobservedunderconventional808nmpumping.Thecharacteristictemperatures,structure,andabsorptionspectrahavebeenmeasured.TheradiativepropertiesofHo3+inthepreparedglasswerecalculated.TheemissioncrosssectionofHo3+ionstransitioncanreach4.78×10-21cm2around2μm,andtheFWHMisashighas153nm.TheenergytransferefficiencybetweenHo3+andTm3+hasalargevalue（52%）,whichindicatestheTm3+∕Ho3+co-dopedsilicategermanateglassisasuitablecandidateforthe2μmlaser.Moreover,theenergytransfermechanismbetweenTm3+andHo3+ionswasinvestigated.
