Abstrakt: In this study, a glass system based on heavy metal oxides, namely Pb 3 O 4 -Sb 2 O 3 -SiO 2 , was prepared with Ho 2 O 3 , Er 2 O 3 , and Tm 2 O 3 as dopants. The prepared glass were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) studies. The luminescence efficiencies of the three rare earth ions viz., Ho 3+ , Er 3+ , and Tm 3+ in the glass system were investigated, specifically focusing on green (Ho 3+ , Er 3+ ), blue (Tm 3+ ), and near-infrared (NIR) emissions. The optical absorption (OA) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of RE mixed glass displayed strong bands in the visible and NIR regions, which were analyzed using the Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory. The J-O coefficients (Ω λ ) were found to be in the order of Ω 2  > Ω 4  > Ω 6 for all the three glass. Notably, the Tm 3+ -doped glass exhibited the lowest Ω 2 value, which was attributed to a larger degree of disorder in the glass network due to lower fractions of Sb 5+ and Pb 4+ ions that take part in the glass network forming. This conclusion was arrived based on the IR studies. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis of PL spectra and decay curves indicated that SbHo and SbEr glass were suitable for efficient green emission, while SbTm glass is a promising choice for blue laser emission.
