Detailed optical spectroscopic studies of the glassy material were carried out in the UVVis-NIR spectral range. Our analysis revealed that the novel glassy system has the optimum values for the key parameters viz. spectroscopic quality factor, optical gain, stimulated emission cross section and quantum efficiency, which are required for a high performance optical amplifier. Calculated chromaticity co-ordinates (0.61, 0.38) also confirm its application potential in display devices.

Structural and luminescence properties of Sm3+‐doped bismuth phosphate glass for orange‐red photonic applications

“…In the present study, the CIE coordinates (x, y) for all the Sm 3+ ‐doped BiP glasses were almost same and were found to be (0.595, 0.385); (0.599, 0.388); (0.599, 0.388); (0.597, 0.387); (0.597, 0.386); (0.599, 0.388); (0.595, 0.386); (0.595, 0.386); and (0.597, 0.386) corresponding to the prepared Bi‐0, Bi‐5, Bi‐10, Bi‐15, Sm‐0.1, Sm‐0.5, Sm‐1.0, Sm‐1.5 and Sm‐2.0 glasses respectively. The obtained chromaticity coordinates were comparable with other Sm 3+ ‐doped glass . The CIE chromaticity diagram for the 0.5 mol% of Sm 3+ ‐doped Bi‐5 glass matrix is shown in Figure .…”

“…Table shows that the magnitude of the Ω 2 parameter was smaller than that of the Ω 4 and Ω 6 parameters and follows the trend Ω 4 > Ω 6 > Ω 2 for all prepared BiP glass. These values were compared with other glass matrices that had been reported previously . According to Jorgensen and Reisfeld, the magnitude of the Ω 2 parameter depends on the covalence of the metal–ligand (Sm–O) bond and also on the asymmetry of ion sites in the neighbourhood of the Ln 3+ ion, whereas the magnitude of the Ω 4 and Ω 6 parameters was related to viscosity and rigidity of the medium in which ions were located.…”

“…Rare earth (RE) ion activated materials have inspired increasing research interest due to their wide applications such as in display devices, lighting technology, solar cell energy conversion, telecommunications, and remote sensing . Among the RE ions, trivalent samarium ion (Sm 3+ ) is one of the most interesting active ions to analyse for its fluorescence properties and application in areas such as optical storage and undersea communication.…”

Computational analysis, Urbach energy and Judd–Ofelt parameter of warm Sm3+complexes having applications in photovoltaic and display devices

“…The optical parameters gain bandwidth (s(l p )*Dl eff × 10 −28 cm 3 ) and optical gain (s(l p )*s R × 10 −25 cm 2 s) were also estimated using the SEC. 87,88 Laser device amplication is dependent on the optical gain (s(l p )*s R × 10 −25 cm 2 s) and the values are listed in Table 8. The outcomes of all parameters of complexes (C1-C6) are comparable with erbium and samarium-doped glass value.…”

Comprehensive comparison on optical properties of samarium oxide (micro/nano) particles doped tellurite glass for optoelectronics applications

“…The establishment of zinc borotellurite glass doped with samarium oxide will therefore introduce alternative glass materials for possible uses in optoelectronic devices. As of now, several findings on samarium oxide microparticles doped tellurite glass are already researched [15,16,17]. Besides that, there are limited number of researches appears to be published on samarium oxide nanoparticles doped tellurite glass.…”
