Abstract
- In this work, luminescence properties of Tb 3+ /Sm 3+ co-doped lead borate glasses are examined in details. Luminescence spectra of rare earths were measured under different excitation wavelengths. Characteristic luminescence bands corresponding to electronic transitions of terbium and samarium ions were detected under direct excitation of Tb 3+ . The energy transfer from Tb 3+ to Sm 3+ ions in lead borate glass occurs through a nonradiative process with an efficiency from 0.6% to 16%, depending on samarium concentration. Luminescence decay curves for the 4 G 5/2 state of Sm 3+ ions in lead borate glasses were fitted using the Inokuti-Hirayama model. The concentration-dependent luminescence quenching was explained by the non-radiative energy transfer process between the Sm 3+ ions through the cross-relaxation mechanism. The CIE chromaticity coordinates and correlated color temperatures for Tb 3+ /Sm 3+ co-doped lead borate glasses are also presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
