Abstract

This paper reports on the preparation and spectral properties of europium (Eu3+) and terbium (Tb3+) ions doped cadmium lead boro tellurite (CLBT) glasses. For reference glasses, physical properties have been evaluated. From the [measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD), glass amorphous nature of these [glasses has been studied. From the emission spectra of Eu3+: CLBT glasses, five [transitions (5 D 0 → 7 F 0, 7 F 1, 7 F 2, 7 F 3 and 7 F 4) at 579, 591, 613, 652 and 701 nm are observed with λexci = 392 nm (7 F 0 → 5 L 6) and in the case of Tb3+: CLBT glasses, four emission transitions 5 D 4 → (7 F 6, 7 F 5, 7 F 4 and 7 F 3) are observed at 489, 543, 584 and 621nm respectively monitered with λexci = 376 nm (7 F 6 → 5 G 6).
