Abstract
We have prepared europium-doped BaO-Bi2O3-B2O3 glasses and investigated the doping effect on the main physicochemical properties and local structure of the glasses. Using Judd-Ofelt analysis, we calculated intensity parameters (Ω2, Ω4, and Ω6), spontaneous emission probabilities, the radiative lifetime, luminescence branching factors, the quantum yield of luminescence, and the stimulated emission cross sections for 5 D 0 → 7 F J transitions.
