Glasses activated rare earth (RE) ions are demanding for photonic devices. Optimization of rare earth dopants, chemical composition of glass former and modifier decides spectra features. We synthesize a series of glass having composition (50-x)P2O5 - 30Li2O - 20Na2O - (x)Sm2O3, where x = 0 to 2.0 mol% (optimizing RE concentration) via melt-quenching technique. The effects of Sm2O3 concentration on significant enhancement of absorption and luminescence are scrutinized. The UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra reveal ten band and the emission spectra exhibit four peaks specific to the dopant. The results suggest that samarium doped phosphate glasses are potential for laser and other applications.
