Popis: Naturally abundant minerals and lanthanide-doped synthetic boro-tellurite networks have become prospective efficient laser hosts because of the synergy between them. Driven by this idea, Eu3+-doped boro-telluro-dolomite (BTD) glasses were prepared via the melt-quenching method. The spectroscopic traits of as-quenched samples were analyzed though experimental and theoretical studies. The result from the derivation of absorption spectral fitting (DASF) model demonstrated the direct allowed transition in the glasses. Moreover, the photoluminescence spectra of the sample containing 1.0 mol% of Eu3+ (BTD1.0Eu glass) revealed a prominent red peak at 611 nm (assigned to 5D0 → 7F2 transition in Eu3+ ion) with a large stimulated emission cross section ( 7.15 × 10 − 22 c m 2 ) and a high luminescence branching ratio (61.5%). Furthermore, the attained CIE color coordinates (0.637, 0.363), which lie near the standard red hue (0.67, 0.33), together with high quantum efficiency (92.7%) affirmed the effectiveness of BTD1.0Eu glass as a potential red laser host.
