Er+β3doped lead-bismuth tellurite glasses with the composition (75-x) TeO2 ββ15 PbO β 10 Bi2O3 - xEr2O3 where (xβ=β0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 mole%) were synthesized by using melt quenching technique. The influence of Er3+ doping was evaluated through physical and optical properties. The non-crystalline nature of the samples was analyzed by XRD. The density of the samples was increased from 6.387 to 6.528 g.cmββ3. The absorption spectra show eight transition bands corresponding to the transitions from 4I15/2 to 4I13/2, 4I11/2, 4I9/2, 4F9/2, 4S3/2, 4H11/2, 4F7/2 and 4F5/2, respectively. The experimental and calculated oscillator strengths were calculated based on the Judd-Ofelt theory. The intensity parameters follow the trend β¦2β>ββ¦6β>ββ¦4. Three emission bands were observed from the fluorescence spectra. The green transition 4S3/2 β4I15/2 is the strongest among other transitions. The color coordinates were determined by using CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram. The highest quantum efficiency was 95.11% for the transition 4S3/2 β4I15/2. The results suggest that the TPBE2 glass is a great promising candidate for photonic applications and fabrication of laser optical devices.
