Thermal and structural properties of Nd2O3-doped calcium boroaluminate glasses

Optical, spectroscopic, and thermo‐optical properties of Nd2O3‐doped CaBAl glasses

“…This study measured density, refractive index, optical absorption coefficient, luminescence, fluorescence lifetime, and temperature coefficient of the optical path length d S /d T . It complements a previous study of thermal and structural properties of the same set of samples . The knowledge of these properties is very important for the development of photonics devices, mainly in solid state laser systems.…”

“…The interest in Calcium Boroaluminate (CaBAl) glasses has risen due to their physical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties, such as high transparency, low melting temperature, high thermal stability, high chemical durability, and good solubility of rare‐earth ions, allowing their use in many optical applications, in particular, as laser host materials …”

Enhanced and tunable white light emission from Ag nanoclusters and Eu3+-co-doped CaBAl glasses

“…CaBAl glass stands out due to its excellent optical and chemical properties, such as high optical transparency, low melting temperature, high thermal stability, high chemical durability and high rare earth solubility. 4,7,22 Moreover, the incorporation of CaF 2 in the composition leads to a phonon energy decrease in these glasses, which can improve their quantum efficiency. 4,23 In this work, Ag:Eu-co-doped CaBAl glasses were prepared.…”
