Popis: Eu-doped calcium aluminosilicate glass and glass-ceramic were synthesized and studied by site-selective spectroscopy. Using both broadband excitation and fluorescence line narrowing techniques, the D 0 5 → F 1 7 emission transition was studied under resonant excitation at different wavelengths within the F 0 7 → D 0 5 band. In order to explore the local structure of the systems, crystal-field analysis was applied assuming C 2 v site symmetry. Moreover, from the emission spectra of glass and glass-ceramic systems, Judd-Ofelt parameters Ω t (t = 2, 4) were considered. Transition probability (A), stimulated emission cross-section ( σ ), radiative lifetime ( τ R ) and branching ratios ( β ) due to the transition D 0 5 → F J 7 (J = 1, 2, 3 and 4) of Eu 3 + ions were evaluated in different local fields and their relative variations were discussed. The crystallization process, which converted the glass into glass-ceramic, promoted an important enhancement in the quantum efficiency, which was improved from 45% to 60%.
