EFFECT OF LIF ON LUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OF Dy3+ DOPED Cd-Zn PHOSPHATE GLASSES

Abstract

The present work deals with optical absorption, luminescence studies of the cadmium zinc phosphate glasses doped with Dy 3+ ions. The effect of variation of LiF concentration in the host matrix cadmium-zinc phosphate glasses was established in this study. Optical absorption, luminescence studies reveals the emission of white light from the glass upon excitation. Characteristic nature of existence of Dy 3+ ions in the host with absorption bands in absorption spectra, excitation and emission spectra with chromaticity coordinates in the white light region was described. These prepared glasses were useful in white light generation materials.
