Abstract
The disadvantage of chalcogenide glasses containing rare earth ions as luminescent materials for the IR optical range is the strong concentration quenching of luminescence due to the non-uniform distribution of rare earth ions in the glass matrix. This study investigates the effect of grinding chalcogenide glass containing Pr3+ ions in a planetary ball mill on its luminescent properties in the near-IR range, as well as its optical properties and structure. The results indicate that milling, under certain conditions, leads to a decrease in the concentration quenching of the luminescence of Pr3+ ions. This finding suggests that milling can be used in the development of glassy materials with the increased efficiency of luminescence of rare earth ions. However, it is essential to consider that high-energy milling may result in the formation of areas with increased pressure in the obtained material, leading to structural changes in the glass.
