Abstract

The new glass series were prepared in compositions 25Gd2O3-10CaO-10SiO2-(55-x) B2O3-xEr2O3 (where x is 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol %) by normal melt-quenching technique at the melting temperature of 1,400 °C. The optical spectra were measured and shown absorption bands were assigned to appropriate f-f electronic transitions of Er3+ ions from the 4I15/2 ground state to the following excited states: 4G11/2, 2H9/2, 45/2, 4F7/2, 2H11/2, 4S3/2, 4F9/2, 4I9/2 and 4I11/2. Single peak from upconversion luminescence was observed at 531 nm (green) is assigned to the 2H11/24I15/2. In this work, the strongest peak at 2.0% mol of Er2O3 was observed. In this work, suggests that the Er3+ ion in gadolinium calcium silicoborate glasses possibly considered as a potential candidate for applications in upconversion-based optical devices.
