Optical and Physical Properties of Bismuth Borate Glasses Doped With Dy~(3+)

摘要

This study reports on physical and optical properties of Dy + doped bismuth borate glass. The glasses containing Dy~(3+) in (70-x)B_2O_3:30Bi_2O_3:xDy_2O_3 (where x = 0.0-2.5 mol%) have been prepared by melt-quenching method. In order to understand the role of Dy2O3 in these glasses, the density, molar volume and optical spectra were investigated. The results show that molar volume of the glasses increase with the increasing of Dy_2O_3 concentration and consequently generating more Non-Bridging Oxygen (NBOs) into glass matrix. The absorption spectra of Dy~(3+) doped in bismuth borate glass correspond with several bands, which are assigned from the ground state, ~6H_(15/2) to ~6F_(3/2)(761 ran), ~6F_(5/2)(806 nm), ~6F_(7/2)(907 nm), ~6H_(7/2), ~6F_(9/2))(1099 nm), (~6 F_911/2), ~6H_(9/2)) (1283 nm) and ~6H_(11/2) (1695 nm). Moreover, the optical basicities were also theoretically determined.
