Abstract
Lead fluorosilicate (SPbKNLFEu) glasses doped with different concentrations of Eu3+ ions have been prepared by the melt quenching technique. The structural and spectroscopic analysis have been carried out by Raman, absorption, excitation, emission, phonon side band (PSB) spectra and decay time measurements. The Judd-Ofelt theory has been used to predict the radiative properties for the emission levels of Eu3+ ions. Local structure around the Eu3+ ions and the phonon energy of SPbKNLFEu glasses have been confirmed on the basis of PSB associated with the 7F0 → 5D2 transition. The decay curves of the 5D0 and 5D1 levels exhibit single exponential nature with a lifetime of 2240 μs and 20 μs, respectively. The multiphonon relaxation rates (Wmp) from the excited levels to the next lower level of Eu3+ ions have been calculated. The higher stimulated emission cross-section and the strong red emission at 613 nm corresponding to the 5D0 → 7F2 transition suggests that the present lead fluorosilicate glasses could be useful for the optical display devices.
