“…The Yb 2 O 3 was utilized as a modifier in investigating the thermal and mechanical properties of alkali-free aluminoborosilicate glass composites. 18 The addition of Yb 3+ significantly attenuated the dielectric constant (from 4.96 to 4.52) and thermal expansion coefficient. The effective penetration of Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ ions into the Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 lattice further demonstrated enhanced optical properties with an extraordinary repeatability at higher temperatures (Figure 13 and Figure 14).…”

“…17 The Yb 3+ only worked as a modifier in the alkali-free aluminoborosilicate glass composites. 18 It cannot participate in the bond formation of glass composites. Thus, a strong electric field might weaken the oxygen-bridging bond in the glass network at an elevated temperature.…”

“…An improved doping level compared to that of La 3+ and the reduced photodarkening effect of Yb 3+ -SAL glasses make it a potential alternative to commercially produced pure silicate glasses (Suprasil F300) . The increased transition temperature of glass (i.e., reduced viscosity) and softening points due to the addition of Yb 3+ also suggest potential applications in an elevated temperature glass fiber melting and drawing process.…”

In small- and large-scale industries, manipulable optical characteristics are desired. In this regard, rare-earth oxides (REOs) have been providing pragmatic attributes in terms of successful implementations and promising prospects throughout the last few decades. Currently, there is no comprehensive literature review on REOs that can aid researchers in focusing on industry-relevant emerging materials. Therefore, this review reports studies that have been able to experimentally utilize the physical, chemical, thermal, electronic, spectroscopic, and photocatalytic properties of REOs in the optical field. The brief and focused review finds that the most pronounced applications of REOs in the optical field are in white light and laser, while the prospective ground likely lies in optoelectronics, fiber optic applications, and miscellaneous repertoires that incorporate an innovative utilization of an electronic configuration of REOs. From the perspective of this review, the versatility of an REO in the optical field has become prominent and quantified by the successful implementations of REOs in white light and nonwhite light applications. Furthermore, the innovative applications of REOs include but are not limited to the development of solid-state optical devices, optoelectronic systems, and photocatalytic agents. Specifically, their futuristic applications are likely to be led by the development of stronger emission devices and the obtaining of flexible doping characteristics by several ions such as Li+, Eu3+, Dy3+, Nd3+, La3+, Yb3+, etc. at different levels, which will render the pathway for further exploration in this regard. However, the improvement in terms of methodological attributes requires a serious consideration of overcoming the limitation of thermal stability, lack of exploration of several types of lights, photodarkening in critical applications, lack of applicability at a wide range of temperatures, and so on. From an industrial perspective, it can be conjectured from the reported literature that the challenges will be overcome at a large scale within a few years due to the expedited technological advancements of the experimental repertoires, rendering the REO applications in the optical field reasonably economic and commercially viable. In short, this is the first review that objectively considers the applications and prospects of REOs, which will essentially invoke several studies to investigate the specific properties and viability of REOs in the optical field.
