Variation of photoluminescence features in Pr3+ doped lithium-fluoro-borate glass by changing different modifier oxides (MgO, CaO, CdO and PbO)-Judd-Ofelt theory application
2015
Pr3+ (1.0 mol%) doped different modifier oxide based six lithium-fluoro-borate glasses with chemical composition of 49Li2B4O7-20BaF2-10NaF-20MO (where M= Mg, Ca, Cd and Pb), 49Li2B4O7-20BaF2-10NaF-10MgO-10CaO and 49Li2B4O7-20BaF2-10NaF-10CdO-10PbO were prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. Judd-Ofelt theory has been applied for evaluating the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters for Pr3+ ion in these glass compositions and are in turn to used to predict radiative properties such as radiative transition probabilities (AT), branching ratios (β) and stimulated emission cross-section (σP). Stimulated emission cross-section (σp) of prominent emission transitions, 3P0→3H4 and 1D2→3H4 of Pr3+ ion in all lithium-fluoro-borate glasses were calculated. Among all the emission transitions, 3P0→3H4 posseses higher branching ratio and stimulated emission cross-section in Mg-Ca glass, which leads to the best laser excitation at 487 nm wavelength.
