“…The positions mentioned (324, 350, 364, 386, 425, 453, and 468 nm) correspond to the transitions of Dy 3+ ions from their ground state ( 6 H 15/2 ) to different excited states (M 17/2 , 6 P 7/2 , 6 P 5/2 , 4 F 7/2 , 4 G 11/2 , 4 I 15/2 , and 4 F 9/2 ). [56][57][58][59] The ideal wavelength (350 nm) for activating Dy 3+ ions in SBNZMG precursor glasses is close to the near-UV range, indicating that near-UV light can effectively be used to stimulate SBNZMG: Dy 3+ glasses. Furthermore, there exists a broadband absorption spanning from 250 to 325 nm that can be attributed to the charge transfer band involving two aspects: (a) from O 2− to Dy 3+ , and (b) the transition of 1 A 1 → 3 T 2 caused by O 2− -Mo 6+ in the [MoO 4 ] 2− group.…”
