In this paper, the application of thermal lens and Z-scan techniques to the study of the
thermo-optical and spectroscopic properties of solid-state laser glasses is described. The …

Covers the advantages of using photothermal spectroscopy over conventional absorption
spectroscopy, including facilitating extremely sensitive measurements and non-destructive …

Tellurite glasses with different concentrations of Nd 3+ ions and WO 3 oxide were prepared
using melt-quenching technique. The prepared glasses were characterized by the …

Zinc phosphate glasses (PZABPTb) in the compositional system: P 2 O 5–ZnO–Al 2 O 3–
BaO–PbO doped with variable Tb 3+ concentrations (1–5 wt% Tb 2 O 3) were prepared and …

Nd 3+-doped glasses in the composition (50-x) B 2 O 3-10 PbO-10 BaO-10 Al 2 O 3-10 ZnO-
10 Na 2 O-(x) Nd 2 O 3 (x= 0.0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mol%) were fabricated …

Trivalent Tb-doped materials exhibit strong emission in the green and weak emission in the
UV-blue levels. Usually, this behavior is attributed to the cross relaxation (CR) process. In …

Infrared to visible upconversion in erbium doped lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT)
transparent ceramic is reported for the first time. Intense green upconversion emissions …

C-axis preferentially and randomly oriented Bi 4 NdTi 3 FeO 15 (BNTF) ceramics were
prepared by molten salt synthesis and conventional solid-state reaction methods …

A wide bandgap is one of the major obstacles that hamper the photoelectric application of
ferroelectrics. This work reported the tunable band gaps of ferroelectric Aurivillius Bi 3.15 Nd …

In current work, spectroscopic properties of Nd^ 3+ ions in titanate-germanate glasses have
been studied for near-IR luminescence and laser applications. Near-IR luminescence at …
