“…These excited states include 4 F 7/2 (387 nm), 4 G 11/2 (426 nm), 4 I 15/2 (453 nm), 4 F 9/2 (475 nm), 6 F 3/2 (749 nm), 6 F 5/2 (797 nm), 6 F 7/2 (893 nm), and 6 F 9/2 + 6 H 7/2 (1087 nm), respectively. 20,45,[52][53][54][55][56] As the amount of Dy 2 O 3 in the glass increases, the absorption peak associated with it becomes stronger, indicating a higher concentration of Dy 3+ ions in the glass.…”
