“…4 I 11/2 emission at around 1.06 lm. 5,8,9 The interest in Calcium Boroaluminate (CaBAl) glasses has risen due to their physical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties, such as high transparency, low melting temperature, high thermal stability, high chemical durability, and good solubility of rare-earth ions, allowing their use in many optical applications, in particular, as laser host materials. 3,[10][11][12][13][14] The aim of this study is to investigate the role of Nd 2 O 3 on optical, spectroscopic, and thermo-optical properties in CaO-Al 2 O-B 2 O 3 -CaF 2 glass system.…”
