Abstract

Abstract: Nd 3+ ion doped lithium aluminium phosphate glasses were synthesized and studied their properties for laser medium application. The density and the refractive index of the glass samples were carried out at the room temperature. The optical and luminescence properties were studied by investigating absorption and NIR emission spectra of the glass samples. The glasses absorbed photons in ultraviolet (UV), visible light (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) regions are clearly observed from absorption spectra. For the photoluminescence properties, the glass samples showed the strongest emission at 1063 nm when it were excited by 581 nm which assigned to the energy transitions of Nd 3+ . The three phenomenological Judd-Ofelt parameters (Ω2, Ω4, Ω6 ) were determined from the spectral intensities of absorption band in order to calculate the radiative transition possibility (AR ), stimulated emission cross section (σ(λp )) and branching ratio (βR ) of the w 4 F3/2 → 4 I9/2, 4 I11/2 and 4 I13/2 transitions. From the obtained results the conclusions made about the possibility of using these glasses as laser material.
