We report here on the preparation and optical characterization of certain rare earth (Nd3+,Tb3+,Pr3+ &Tm3+ each in 0.2 mol %) ions doped in two new series glasses in the following composition: Series A: 69.8 B2O3 – 10 P2O5 – 10(ZnO/CdO/TeO2) – 10 AlF3 Series B: 69.8 B2O3 – 10 P2O5 – 10(ZnO/CdO/TeO2) – 10 LiF By applying the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters of Nd3+: BFP glasses, radiative properties of the emission transitions ( 4F3/2 ®4IJ=9/2, 11/2 &13/2 ) at 906, 1079 and 1349nm have been evaluated. By applying the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters, radiative properties for Er3+ ions doped glasses, the NIR emission (4I13/2 4I15/2 ) at 1547nm , and also visible green emission (4S3/2 4I15/2 ) at 547nm have been evaluated. Measured absorption spectra of Pr3+: BFP glasses have shown eight absorption bands at 443, 469, 481, 589 , 1008, 1419, 1523 and 1930 nm which correspond to the transitions 3H4 ®3P2, 3P1, 3P0, 1D2, 1G4,3F4, 3F3 and 3F2 respectively. Absorption spectra of Tm3+: glasses have revealed five absorption bands at 466, 685, 790, 1206 and 1644 nm which corresponding to the transitions 3H6®1G4, 3F3, 3H4, 3H5 and 3F4 respectively. Pr3+: glasses, with an excitation at 442nm (3H4 ®3P2), a orange-red emission at 600 nm (1D2® 3H4) has been observed. In the case of Tm3+: glasses, upon excitation with 355nm (3H6®1D2), blue emissions at 452 nm (1D2®3F4) and at 476 nm (1G4®3H6) are observed. From the measured NIR emission spectra of Pr3+: BFP glasses, an NIR emission at 1354nm (1G4®3H5) and form Tm3+: glasses, an NIR emission (3F4®3H6) at 1809 nm are observed with an Ar+ laser (514.5 nm) as the excitation source.

Dy3+-doped phosphate glasses of the compositions 20Gd2O3 : 10CaO : (70-x)P2O5 : xDy2O3, where x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.50, 1.00 and 1.50 mol% have been prepared by melt quenching technique and characterized by optical absorption, emission spectra and decay curve analysis. All the transitions in the absorption spectra are originated from the 6H15/2 ground level to the various excited states and these are intra configuration (f-f) transitions. The observed twelve absorption bands centered at 349, 362, 387, 425, 451, 473, 750, 800, 895, 1089, 1266 and 1676 nm are assigned to 6P7/2, 4P3/2, 4F7/2, 4G11/2, 4I15/2, 4F9/2, 6F3/2, 6F5/2, 6F7/2, 6F9/2, 6H9/2 and 6H11/2 transitions, respectively. The absorption spectra of glasses increase with increase in Dy3+ ion concentrations. The emission spectra of Dy3+-doped glasses are observed to be centered at 483, 573, 662 and 752 nm originated from the 4F9/2→6H15/2, 4F9/2→6H13/2, 4F9/2→6H11/2 and 4F9/2→6H9/2 transitions, respectively under excitation at 349 nm. The highest emission intensity of Dy3+-doped glass is 0.50 mol% due to concentration quenching effect. The experimental lifetimes are found to decrease when Dy3+ ion concentrations increased due to energy transfer process between Dy3+ ions.

ABSTRACTTm3+ -doped glasses with the composition of (1-x)TeO2-xPbF2, where x=10, 15, 20, 25 mol.% were synthesized and, their thermal and absorption measurements were investigated. All the glasses were transparent. The absorption bands corresponding to the absorption of the 1G4, 3F2, 3F3, 3F4, 3H5, and 3H4 levels from the 3H6 ground level of the Tm3+ ion were observed in the optical UV/VIS/NIR absorption measurements. We calculated the integrated absorption cross sections of each band except that of 3H5 level was found to vary with composition of the PbF2. The absorption measurements were first made to determine the spontaneous emission probabilities of the 4f-4f transitions of the Tm3+ ions. The calculations were made by using the Judd - Ofelt theory. The Ω2 parameter shows the strongest dependence on the host composition and it increases with the increasing PbF2 amount. The values Ω4 increases rather slowly while the value of Ω6 is practically independent of the composition. The strong dependence of the parameter Ω2 indicates that this parameter is related to the structural change and symmetry of the local environment of the Tm3+ ions in this glass.

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.

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.

The Yb3+-doped Lithium-Zinc-Phosphate glasses were prepared by means of conventional melt quenching method. The elastic moduli of the entire vitreous range of this doped glass system have been measured by the ultrasonic pulse-echo technique at 4 MHz. The ultrasonic wave velocities, the bulk, shear, longitudinal and Young's moduli are found to be rather sensitive to the Yb2O3 wt% content. The infrared absorption spectra were recorded in the frequencies range 4000 to 400 cm–1. Absorption bands and mode attributions have been fully discussed. Absorption midband positions and intensities are found to be strongly dependent on Yb2O3 wt%. The optical absorption spectra in the visible and ultraviolet region were recorded at room temperature. The obtained results showed that a gradual shift in the fundamental absorption edge toward longer wavelengths occurred and it is observed that the values ofEopt. are decreased and ΔE increased with the increase of Yb2O3 wt% content.

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.

Tm3+ and Dy3+ co-doped zinc-aluminum phosphate glasses were prepared in this study. Judd-Ofelt theory has been used to evaluate the three intensity parameters Ω2, Ω4 and Ω6 form the experimental oscillator strengths. The luminescence properties were investigated by excitation and emission spectra. White light emission could be induced by combined blue and yellow bands under UV excitation, and the variety of excitation wavelength could change the luminescence color.

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.
