The glass systems with composition 20SrO-5CaO-40Li2O-(35-x) B2O3-x Eu2O3 (x = 0.3, 0.5 and 1 mol%) glasses were prepared by melt quenching technique to study absorption and luminescence properties and understand their lasing properties. Thepresent work reports the studies on Physical, Optical and luminescence properties of the prepared glass systems. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the glass increases with increase in Eu2O3 content up to 1mol%. The increase in the density and decrease in molar volume reveals the close packing of glass network. For Eu3+ emission the most intense red emission has been observed at the wavelength of 614nm for the transitions5D0 →7F2. The phonon energy was measured from phonon side band spectra which showed 1280cm−1, typical value for the borate glasses. Luminescence intensity ratio and lifetime analysis has been measured and discussed in the present work. The present glasses are very near to reddish orangeregion and thus can be key entrant for optical display device applications.
20Li2O-15CaF2-20ZnO-45B2O3- 0.XAu-(0.5-X) Ag, (where X= 0.2, 0.3) glasses were prepared by the conventional melt quench technique and coded as 2G3S and 3G2S respectively. The idea of this current work is to check the compositional dependence on the gold and silver nanoparticles in the glass. The XRD results confirmed presence of Au-Ag (111) peak at 38.11. The Infrared spectral study confirms the presence of borate segments. The UV Visible Spectroscopic studies confirms the presence of surface plasmon resonance shoulder peak for Ag nanoparticles around 490nm and 509 nm for glass 2G3S and 3G2S which had overlapped with SPR resonance peak of Au around 603 nm for glass 2G3S and around 559nm for glass 3G2S. The nonlinear optical properties were characterized using Z-Scan experimental technique for these glasses and it suggests the Glass 3G2S exhibited better nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient compared to Glass 2G3S
