Preparation And Characterization Of Tb3+ Ions Doped Zincborophosphate Glasses For Green Emission

The present study reports the preparation of various concentrations of Tb3+ ions doped zincborophosphate glasses and analysis by XRD, FTIR, optical, emission and decay curve spectras. The effect of borate groups on the phosphate was evidenced by FTIR spectroscopy. The JO intensity parameters was calculated using Judd-Offlet theory. The fluroscence spectra of Tb3+ doped zincborophosphate glasses revealed the efficient blue and green emissions due to D-5(3) and D-5(4) excited levels to F-7(j) ground state respectively. The decay curves exhibits single exponential curves for all the Tb3+ ion concentrations. Various radiative and fluorescence parameters are calculated using JO intensity parameters. Based on the results obtained in the present study, the Tb3+ ions doped zincborophosphate glasses behaves as a efficient laser active materials for highintensity emissions in the green region.
