The Photoluminescence, Optical Absorption and Physical Properties of Dy3+ Ions in Li2O-La2O3-B2O3 Glass System
The lithium lanthanum borate glasses doped with Dy2O3 were prepared by the melt quenching technique. The Dy2O3 doped concentration has been increased and substituted B2O3 from 0.00 to 1.50 mol% in the glasses. The photoluminescence, optical absorption and physical properties of these glasses have been investigated in this work. The experimental results show that, the molar volume of glasses tended to increase with increasing of Dy2O3 concentration, but the density were not depending on the concentration of Dy2O3. The UV-Vis-NIR spectra, absorption bands at 451, 798, 894, 1085 1264 and 1676 nm have been observed. For Dy3+ doped glasses, emission bands centered at 483, 575 and 664 nm have been observed with 388 nm excitation wavelength. The emission spectra have shown the strongest band in the glasses with 0.50 mol% Dy2O3 concentration.
