Tm3+-doped barium gallo-germanate glasses were fabricated,and two efficient and easy-operated dehydration processes were conducted in the fabrication processes. Spectroscopic properties were obtained at room temperature, Judd-Ofelt parameters and laser parameters (absorption and emission cross-section, gain coefficient) were calculated using the McCumber (MC) theory and Fuchtbauer-Ladenburg (F-L) formula. Results indicate that barium gallo-germanate glass will be a good glass host for the 2.0-mu m Tm3+-doped optical fiber laser. Factors influential to the population inversion of the F-3(4) level to the total rare-earth ions of the potential 2.0-mu m Tm3+-doped optical fiber laser were analyzed using the rate equations.
