Abstract: | This paper reports the optical properties of Dy(3+) in sodium fluoroborate glasses of the type XNaF.(89-X)B(2)O(3).10 Al(2)O(3).1Dy(2)O(3) (where X=8, 12, 16, 20 and 24). Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters (Omega(2), Omega(4), Omega(6)) are derived from the absorption spectra. The Judd-Ofelt theory has been applied to interpret the local environment of Dy(3+) ions and bond covalency of RE-O bond. These parameters have been used to calculate radiative transition probabilities (A(rad)), lifetimes (tau(R)) and branching ratios (beta(R)) for the excited level (4)F(9/2). The predicted values of tau(R) are compared with the measured values for (4)F(9/2) level for five glass compositions (Glass (A-E)). The stimulated emission cross-section sigma(lambda(P)) are also evaluated for the (4)F(9/2)-->(6)H(J) (J=11/2, 13/2, and 15/2) transitions. |
