Optical Characterization of Erbium Doped Sodium Borate Glass

Abstract:

Borate glass has been identified as one of the potential host for optical application. In this work, a serie of borate glass of the system (80-x) B₂0₃ –10Na₂O- 10ZnO- x Er₂O₃ (x= 0.5 -1.5 mol %) has been prepared by melt quenched technique. Their optical properties by mean of the UV-VIS-IR and photoluminescence have been identified. From the result, there are 5 significant absorption peaks that corresponds to 487 nm, 750 nm, 820 nm,894 nm and 979 nm wavelength have been observed. Meanwhile there are six significant emission peaks have been observed which corresponds to 401 nm, 434 nm, 481.5 nm, 526 nm, 556 nm and 700 nm wavelength. Thus, from the photoluminescence results, the green, yellow and red spectrum can be expected. Some other results will be analysed and discussed.
