Study on Physical and Photoluminescence Properties of Er³⁺Doped Zinc Barium Tellurite Glasses

Abstract:

Er³⁺-doped ZnO – BaO – TeO₂ glasses with the formula (80-x)TeO₂–15ZnO–5BaO–xEr₂O₃ were fabricated using melt quenching technique. The 5 glass samples with different concentrations of Er₂O₃ were prepared under atmospheric pressure. The samples were investigated on their properties: density, molar volume, absorption spectra and photoluminescence. Density was increased with an increase in Er³⁺ content. The molar volume trend is in the opposite way to that of the density. The absorption bands are assigned as absorptions from the ⁴I_15/2 ground state to the ⁴F_7/2, ²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2, ⁴F_9/2, ⁴I_9/2, ⁴I_11/2 and ⁴I_13/2 levels. All absorption bands are increase with increasing content of Er³⁺. The photoluminescence spectra were measured with 980 nm light pumped by flash lamp. The spectra trends to increase with increasing concentration of the dopant.
