Glasses with composition xCdO-(40-x) Na2CO3-60H3BO3; x = 10, 20, 30 and 40 mol% were prepared by conventional melt-quenching technique and checked by XRD technique for their amorphous nature. An increase in density and refractive index of the samples with an increase in content of CdO has been observed and discussed. The optical absorption spectra of the glasses were recorded in the range 200–1100 nm and was used to find optical mobility gap, Urbach energy, and cut-off wavelength for each sample. The decrease in optical mobility gap with increase in CdO points towards the compactness of the structure with the addition of CdO. FTIR spectroscopy reveals the presence of trigonal and tetrahedral borate units, and the results indicate the conversion of BO3 to BO4 units with the increase in CdO content.

In this work, effect of Li2O and Na2O on bismuth borate glasses have been investigated. The glass samples were prepared in composition 44B2O3 : 50Bi2O3 : 5Li2O : 1A2O3 and 44B2O3 : 50Bi2O3 : 5Na2O3 : 1A2O3 (where A2O3= Sm2O3 and Dy2O3).Glasses were prepared using the melt-quenching technique at 1,100 oc under normal atmosphere. The result found that, the density and molar volume of lithium bismuth borate glasses are less than sodium bismuth borate glasses both in Sm2O3 and Dy2O3. In addition, the optical absorption spectra and luminescence of lithium bismuth borate glasses are higher than sodium bismuth borate glasses both in Sm2O3 and Dy2O3.

In this work, the physical and optical properties of soda-lime-borate glasses doped with V2O5 concentration of 0.0 to 2.5 in mol% have been investigated. The glass samples were prepared by the normal melt-quench technique. The results show that the density and refractive index decreased with additional 0.5 mol% content of V2O5. Then both results increased with increasing V2O5 content from 1.0-2.5 mol%. The optical absorption spectra of glass samples were measured by UV-visible spectrophotometer in the wavelength range 300-1100 nm and color coordinate in CIEL*a*b* system. The absorption peaks locate around 605 and 960 nm for all V2O5 concentration that are associated to V4+ ions and produce the brown color.

Er3+-doped bismuth borosilicate glasses (Bi2O3+B2O3+SiO2+Er2O3) glasses doped with different Er2O3 concentrations (0, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 2.50 mol%) have been prepared by melt quenching technique and their physical, optical and luminescence properties have been studied. The density of glasses showed the highest value at 4.7358 g/cm3 with 1.00 mol% of Er2O3. The optical absorption spectra of glasses were observed seven bands at 488, 523, 543, 654, 801, 975 and 1529 nm which assigned to the transitions 4I15/2→4F7/2, 2H11/2, 4S3/2, 4F9/2, 4I9/2, 4I11/2 and 4I13/2, respectively. The emission spectra of glasses were also investigated and discussed in term of energy level of Er3+ ion in glass matrices.

In this work, effects of CoO on silicoborate glasses have been investigated. Glasses were prepared in formula (53-x)B2O3:11SiO2:32SrO:1Bi2O3:1TiO2: xCoO (where x is 0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.05 mol%). The results show that, the density and refractive index were increased with increasing of CoO concentration. The optical absorption spectra were measured by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer and show peaks correspond with Co2+ in glass matrices at a wavelength of around 511 584 and 649 nm for all glass samples.

Lutetuim calcium silico borates (LuCaSiB) glasses doped with Nd3+ ions with molar composition of Lu2O3-CaO-SiO2-B2O3-Nd2O3 have been prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. Their properties have been evaluated throughout the density, refractive index, absorption and emission measurements. The density, molar volume and refractive index increase with increasing Nd2O3 concentration. The optical absorption spectra show twelve bands in visible and near infrared regions. The luminescence spectra exhibit three emission bands were observed at 900, 1072 and 1341 nm corresponding to 4F3/2 → 4I9/2, 4I11/2 and 4I13/2 transition respectively.

Erbium nanoparticles (NPs) doped zinc borotellurite glasses have been prepared by conventional melt-quenching technique with the chemical composition{[(TeO2)0.70(B2O3)0.30]1-x(ZnO)x}1-y(Er3O2)y(wherey=0.005,0.01,0.02,0.03,0.04,0.05). The structural properties of the prepared glasses were determined via X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and FTIR analysis. It was confirmed that the prepared glasses are amorphous. The bonding parameters of the glasses were analyzed by using FTIR analysis and were confirmed to be ionic in nature. The refractive index increases as the content of erbium NPs increases. The optical absorption spectra revealed that fundamental absorption edge shifts to longer wavelength as the content of erbium NPs increases. The value of band gap had been calculated and shown to be decreased with an increase content of erbium NPs. The Urbach energy was shown to be linearly increased with an increase content of erbium NPs oxides.
