Abstract

A series of glasses by melt quenching method fabricated for spectroscopic investigations of Dy3+ ions doped Antimony (Sb)-Magnesium (Mg)-Strontium (Sr) Oxyfluoroborate (BSbMgFS) glasses. The structural and optical characterizations such as XRD, Raman, UV-visible-NIR absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) (excitation and emission), were skilled to study the various properties of the glasses. Amorphous nature of present glass confirm from the broad peaks of XRD.  The transitions from lowest energy state to excited state in RE3+ ions were identified using optical UV-visible-NIR absorption spectra. By using Judd-Ofelt theory the J-O intensity parameters Ωλ (λ = 2, 4, 6) have been evaluated from experimental (fexp) and calculated (fcal) oscillator strengths. The value of Ω2 is higher than Ω4 and Ω6 and follows the trend Ω2˃ Ω6˃ Ω4. This confirms the high covalency of Dy3+ ion with ligands and more asymmetric environment around the rare earth ion in host. The emission of light from glass system was concluded through PL spectra (Excitation and emission) for Dy3+ion. In the present work branching ratio of 4F9/26H13/2transition is obtained higher than 50% (0.55). The highest readings of AR, βR and σse are obtained for the transition n 4F9/26H13/2 (yellow).Hence, this can be consider as an appropriate mechanism for lasing action. Gain band width (Δλeff x σse)and optical-gain (σse x τR) were found to be high for BSbMgFSDy01 and this suggest that BSbMgFSD01 glasses were appropriate for optical amplifier. In the present study of Dy3+ -doped glasses, BSbMgFSD05 has shown highest emission with a Y/B ratio of 2.73 which is useful for white-LED applications. BSbMgFSDy05 glass is suitable for white light emitting devices and lasers applications in the visible region at 575 nm upon excitation of 425 nm.
