Abstract

The present work highlights the optimization of optical and photoluminescence (PL) properties of Ln3+ ions in borate glasses (B2O3 + Li2O/LiF + Ln2O3) by varying the concentration of Ln3+ ions and study the effect of modifiers (Li2O/LiF). The PL measurements have shown that Dy3+:glasses have intense yellow peak at 575 nm and blue peak at 485 nm along with a red emission at 670 nm. The PL properties were enhanced by 3 times when Li2O component in glass was replaced by LiF. In the case of Dy3+:glasses, the lifetime increases from 778 µs to 818 µs when Li2O was replaced by LiF. Based on the existing literature and importance, among all these glasses, Dy3+-doped glasses are highlighted for the present work. All these optimized properties confirm that these Dy3+-doped fluoroborate glasses can be a potential candidate for the development of optical display devices.
