The optical properties of Eu[Formula: see text] ions in tellurite glass ceramics with the chemical composition 50TeO2–29B2O3–10ZnO–10Na2O–1Eu2O3-based precursor glasses were presented. These precursor glasses have been prepared by melt quenching method in air, followed by thermal annealing at 550[Formula: see text]C for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h. After thermal annealing process, the micro–crystals appeared in host tellurite glasses. Judd–Ofelt (JO) parameters were calculated from the photoluminescence (PL) spectral measurements. The [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] parameters have been used to estimate the radiative properties of Eu[Formula: see text] ions in tellurite glass ceramics such as transition probabilities, branching ratio, radiative lifetimes and stimulated emission cross-section. The results of tellurite glass ceramic have been discussed and compared with the similar studies.

Abstract: Zinc lithium lead calcium borophosphate glasses containing Er3+ in (40- x):P2O5:10ZnO:10Li2O:10PbO:10CaO:20B2O3:xEr2O3 (where x=1, 1.5,2 mol %) have been prepared by melt-quenching method. The amorphous nature of the glasses was confirmed by x-ray diffraction studies. Optical absorption, Excitation, fluorescence and Transmittance spectra were recorded at room temperature for all glass samples. Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ωλ (λ=2, 4, 6) are evaluated from the intensities of various absorption bands of optical absorption spectra. Using these intensity parameters various radiative properties like spontaneous emission probability, branching ratio, radiative life time and stimulated emission cross–section of various emission lines have been evaluated. Keywords: ZLLCBP Glasses, Optical Properties, Judd-OfeltTheory, Transmittance Properties.

Glasses having composition 20CdOxBi2O3(79.5-x)B2O30.5Pr6O11 with x varying from 15 to 35 mol% have been synthesized. Optical absorption and fluorescence spectra were measured at ambient temperature. A close correlation is observed between the Bi2O3 content and the spectroscopic properties such as Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ωλ = (λ = 2, 4, 6) , radiative and structural properties of prepared glasses doped with Pr3+ ion. The variation of Ω2 with Bi2O3 content has been attributed to changes in the asymmetry of the ligand field at the rare earth (RE) ion site (due to structural change) and to changes in RE-O covalency, whereas the variation of Ω6 has been related to the variation in RE-O covalency. Following the luminescence spectra, various radiative properties like transition probability (Arad), radiative lifetime (τr), branching ratio (βr) and stimulated emission cross section (σ) have been calculated. The branching ratio for 3P0 → 3F2 transition of Pr3+ glass system arrive at 41 to 40%, respectively, and the predicted spontaneous radiative transition probability rates are high and varies from 14032 to 14864 s−1. In addition, the glass stability is improved in which the substitution of B2O3 for Bi2O3 strengthens the glass network structure. The bismuth based glass as a host for Pr3+ ion doped suggesting their suitability for laser applications.

In this work, the structural characteristic and photoluminescence properties of Eu\(^{3 + }\) doped B\(_{2}\)O\(_{3}\)-TeO\(_{2}\) -ZnO-Na\(_{2}\)O glasses were investigated. These glasses were prepared by a melting method in air, combined with thermal annealing at 350\(^{\circ}\)C, 450\(^{\circ}\)C and 550\(^{\circ}\)C for different duration times. The structural analysis results of these glasses revealed the formation of micro-crystals in the annealed host glass. The photoluminescence spectra of Eu\(^{3 + }\) doped in these samples were observed. The local vibration mode around Eu\(^{3 + }\) ions was investigated by the phonon side-band (PSB) associated with \(^{7}\!F_{0}-^{5}D_{2}\) transition of Eu\(^{3+}\). Judd-Ofelt parameters were then evaluated based on photoluminescence spectra and the luminescence intensity ratios of \(^{5}D_{0} \to ^{7}\!F_{J}\) (\(J=2, 4\) and 6) to \(^{5}D_{0} \to ^{7}\!F_{1}\) transition were predicted. The obtained results were then used to calculate \(\Omega _{2},\;\Omega _{4},\; \Omega _{6} \) parameters based on Judd-Ofelt theory. These \(\Omega _{2}\), \(\Omega _{4}\), \(\Omega _{6}\) parameters allow to derive radiative properties of Eu\(^{3 + }\) ions in glass material such as transition probabilities, radiative lifetimes and peak stimulated emission cross-section for the \(^{5}D_{0} \to ^{7}\!F_{J}\) transitions.

Glasses of the system: xB2O3-10Bi2O3-30Li2O-xPr6O11 where x =1, 1.5 and 2 were prepared by melt quenching technique. Optical absorption and emission spectra have been recorded. The intensities of f-f transition are calculated in term of Judd-Ofelt (JO) intensity parameters Ωλ (λ = 2, 4 and 6). Using the fluorescence data and these Ωλ parameters, various radiative properties like transition probability (Arad), branching ratio (βR), radiative lifetime (τR), and stimulated emission cross section (σp), of various emission lines have been evaluated. The branching ratio for 3P0→3H4 transition is 56% and the predicted spontaneous radiative transition probability rates are fairly high 16411 s−1. This is beneficial for lasing emission.

Different concentration of (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1.0 & 1.5) mol% of europium doped lead borate lithium glasses were prepared by melt quenching method. The properties of thermal, photoluminescence & structural were analyzed using DTA, FTIR and emission spectra. Emission spectra was used to evaluate the Judd-Ofelt (JO) parameters. Radiative parameters like stimulated emission cross-sections (σe), effective band width (∆λeff), transition probabilities (A), optical gain bandwidths (σe x ∆λeff), radiative lifetime (τrad) and optical gain (σe x τrad) values were evaluated for the transition 5D0→7Fj (j=1, 2, 3 and 4) of Eu3+ ions. The outcome of transition 5D0→7F4 at its highest value of branching ratios and stimulated emission cross-section are evaluated with the literature.

Glasses having compositions 20B2O3.(79.5-x)Bi2O3.xSiO2(10 ≤ x ≤ 40) doped with 0.5 mol% of Sm3+ions were prepared by melt quench technique. The amorphous nature of the glasses was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The spectroscopic properties of Sm3+ions in bismuth borosilicate glasses as a function of bismuth oxide were investigated using optical absorption and fluorescence spectra. The Judd-Ofelt theory has been employed to calculate transitions probability from the data of absorption cross-section of several f-f transitions. The intensity parameters Ω2is related to the symmetry of glass hosts, where as the parameter Ω6is inversely proportional to the rare earth oxygen (RE-O) covalency. The variation of Ω4with Bi2O3content has been attributed to rigidity of the samples. Using the Judd Ofelt intensity parameters the other radiative properties like radiative transition probability, radiative life time, branching ratio and the stimulated emission cross-sections of prepared BBSS glasses have been calculated. A bright fluorescent orange emission at 600 nm (4G5/2→6H7/2) of Sm3+ion has been investigated as a function of Bi2O3in host glass. The radiative transition probabilities of Sm3+ions are large in bismuth borosilicate glasses, suggesting the suitability of these glasses as potential candidate for laser application.

Glasses with composition 20B2O3.(79.5-x)Bi2O3.xSiO2 (10 ≤ x ≤ 40) containing 0.5mol% of Er3+ ions were prepared by melt-quench technique. Optical absorption and fluorescence spectra were recorded at room temperature for all glass samples. Based on the Judd-Offelt theory, spectroscopic properties of Er3+ ions are discussed by changing the host glass compositions. The intensity parameters Ω2 , Ω4 , and Ω6 are determined by applying least square analysis method. The variation of Ω2 and Ω6 with Bi2O3 content has been attributed to changes in the asymmetry of the ligand field at the rare earth ion site and to the changes in the rare earth oxygen (RE-O) covalency. The variation of Ω4 with Bi2O3 content has been attributed to rigidity of the samples. Using these intensity parameters various radiative properties like spontaneous emission probability, branching ratio, radiative life time and stimulated emission cross-section of various emission lines have been evaluated. An intense green luminescence bands with maximum around 516 nm and 536 nm are assigned to the 2H11/2→ 4I15/2 and 4S3/2→ 4I15/2 transitions respectively has been obtained.

In this work, the structural characteristic and photoluminescence properties were investigated in Eu\(^{3 + }\) ions-doped B\(_{2}\)O\(_{3}\)-TeO\(_{2}\) --ZnO-Na\(_{2}\)O glasses. These glasses were prepared by the melting method in air, after that thermal annealed 350\rc{}C, 450\rc{}C and 550\rc{}C for different times. The analysis results of structure on these glasses showed the formation of micro-crystals in host glass after thermal annealed process. The photoluminescence spectra of Eu\(^{3 + }\) ions in these samples were observed. The local vibration mode around Eu\(^{3 + }\) ions was investigated by the phonon side band associated with \(^{7}\)F\(_{0}\)- \(^{5}\)D\(_{2}\) transition of Eu\(^{3 + }\). Judd-Ofelt parameters have been evaluated from photoluminescence spectra and were to predict the luminescence intensity ratios of \(^{5}\)D\(_{0} \to ^{7}\)F\(_{J}\) (J=2, 4 and 6) to \(^{5}\)D\(_{0} \to ^{7}\)F\(_{1}\) transition. The obtained results have been used for calculating \(\Omega_{2}\), \(\Omega _{4}\), \(\Omega _{6}\) parameters by using Judd-Ofelt theory. These \(\Omega _{2}\), \(\Omega _{4}\), \(\Omega _{6}\) parameters allow to derive radiative properties of Eu\(^{3 + }\) ions in glass material such as transition probabilities, radiative lifetimes and peak stimulated emission cross-section for the \(^{5}\)D\(_{0} \to ^{7}\)F\(_{J}\) transitions.
