Abstract
Melt quenching technique have been used to prepare the dysprosium-doped lithium-gadolinium borate glasses, which have the composition [60Li2O:10Gd2O3:(30-x) B2O3:xDy2O3] (LGBO:Dy3+), under atmospheric pressure. Some properties: density, molar volume, absorption spectra and photoluminescence of the LGBO:Dy3+ glasses were investigated and discussed. The density of glasses drops to the minimum point at 0.05 mol% and swings after that point. The molar volume of the glasses does not depend on Dy2O3concentration. In absorption spectra for the range of visible to near infrared wavelengths, there are 5 obvious peaks indicating the Dy3+ in glass network. The intensity of each peak at certain wavelength increases with concentration of the Dy2O3. Whereas the excitation spectra show 7 obvious peaks representing the transitions from the ground state 6H15/2to various excited states. The Xenon compact arc lamps were used to measure the emission spectra with 388 nm light. As the result, the LGBO:Dy3+ glass sample with 0.50 mol% of Dy3+ shows the highest intensity in the emission spectra.
