摘要： Optically transparent Barium Lead Alumino Fluoro Borate (BaPbAlFB) glasses doped with different concentrations of Ho3+ ions were prepared by using melt quench technique. Raman spectral studies were conducted to understand the structural groups present in the as prepared glasses at room temperature. Spectroscopic investigations such as optical absorption, excitation, emission and decay measurements were conducted to understand the visible photoluminescence (PL) and lasing potentialities of BaPbAlFB glasses. The bonding parameters (δ) estimated from the absorption spectral features were used to understand the nature of bonding between Ho3+ ions and the surrounding ligands. The Urbach energy values estimated from the absorption spectral data are used to verify the amorphous nature of the present glass system. The Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory has been applied to the measured oscillator strengths of the absorption spectral features to estimate the best fit J-O parameters (?λ, λ= 2, 4, and 6) useful in evaluating various radiative parameters for the prominent fluorescent levels of Ho3+ ions in BaPbAlFB glasses. The experimental lifetimes (τexp) are found to be decreasing with increase in Ho3+ ion concentration owing to energy transfer. The quantum efficiency (η) of Ho3+ ions doped BaPbAlFB glasses were estimated by correlating the experimental lifetimes (τexp) with the radiative lifetimes (τR). The strong visible emission, large stimulated emission cross-section (σse), high branching ratio (βR) and relatively good quantum efficiency (η) obtained for 5S2→ 5I8 (green) transition of 1mol% of Ho3+ ions doped BaPbAlFB glass reveals its suitability in designing and developing visible green lasers.
