Abstract

The calcium-based lead borate glasses doped with 1 mol% Sm3+ ions were prepared using melt quenching technique. The prepared glass samples were analyzed through an X-ray diffractometer, FT-IR, Optical absorption, Emission, and fluorescence decay analysis. Physical properties have been calculated for the prepared glasses. The absorption spectrum has been recorded for 1.0 mol% Sm3+ ions doped calcium-based lead borate glasses. From the absorption spectrum, oscillatory strengths and JO intensity parameters have been calculated. The visible and near-infrared emission spectra were recorded with 402 nm excitation for 1.0 mol% Sm3+ ions. The prepared glass shows that the highest emission intensity for 4G5/2 → 6H11/2 transition centered at 610 nm. Emission properties for the prepared glass were calculated. Decay profile has been analyzed and lifetime value for 4G5/2 exited level of Sm3+ ion calculated for 1.0 mol% Sm3+ ions doped Ca-based lead borate glass: decay profile was well fitted for exponential decay 2, and the lifetime of 4G5/2 excited level is 1.041 ms. The obtained results suggested that the present 1.0 mol% Sm3+ ions doped calcium-based lead borate glass could be useful for the visible lasers and or photonic display devices applications.
