Abstract
Tellurite glass doped with different concentrations of Eu3+ ions has been prepared by the conventional melting process. Photoluminescence, Raman spectra, phonon side-band spectra, and Judd–Ofelt analysis were carried out. Some spectroscopic parameters were estimated to predict the luminescence efficiency of the materials. The energy transfer between the rare-earth ions was observed, and a model for its cross-relaxation was proposed and quantitatively estimated. The charged intrinsic defects in the form of nonbridging oxygen (NBO) were determined, and the energy transfer between NBO and rare-earth ions observed. The energy-transfer-induced Eu3+ photoluminescence enhancement in tellurite glass is studied.
