Abstract
Abstract Dy3+-doped zincfluorophosphate glasses with composition (in mol%) 44P2O5+17K2O+(30−x) ZnF2+9Al2O3+xDy2O3, x=0.01, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 have been prepared by melt quenching technique and were characterized through absorption, emission, excitation spectra and decay curves analysis. The energy levels obtained in the absorption spectrum have been analyzed by using free-ion Hamiltonian model. From the intensities of absorption spectra, Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters have been evaluated and in turn predicted the radiative properties such as radiative transition probability, radiative lifetime and branching ratios. The decay curves are found to be single exponential for lower concentrations (≤0.1 mol%) and turns into non-exponential for higher concentrations. The non-exponential decay curves are well fitted to Inokuti–Hirayama model for S=6, which indicates that the energy transfer between the donor and the acceptor is of dipole–dipole nature. The fluorescence lifetime decreases from 0.82 ms to 0.45 ms with increase in Dy3+ ion concentration from 0.01 to 2.0 mol%. The results obtained for PKAZFDy glasses are compared and discussed with the other reported Dy3+: glasses. The chromaticity properties for different concentrations of PKAZFDy glass were calculated from emission spectra and analyzed with Commission International de I'Eclairage (CIE) color diagram.
