Abstract

The influence of Er³⁺ ions on the optical properties of phosphate glasses doped by a fixed concentration of Sm⁺³ ions had been investigated. Optical absorption studies were executed to estimate the energy gap and Urbach energy. Judd–Ofelt, J–O, model has been applied to the absorption peaks for Er³⁺ (4f¹¹) transitions to determine the J–O intensity parameters Ω_t (t = 2, 4, 6). Using the calculated J–O parameters, the radiative transition probabilities (A_r), Branching ratios (B_r), and radiative lifetime (τ_r) of various excited states of Er³⁺ ion have been calculated. The studied photoluminescence spectra under an ultraviolet excitation wavelength (380 nm) showed several visible emission bands confirming the down-conversion process. Energy transfer (ET) from ⁴S_3/2 (Er³⁺⁾ to ⁴G_5/2 (Sm⁺³) was affirmed. An intensive green emission peak due to ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transition had been observed with stimulated emission cross-section of 7 × 10^–21 cm².
