Abstract
Fluorophosphate (PAKCLf: P2O5-Al2O3-K2O-CaF2-LiF) glasses with Dy3? concentration of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1,
0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mol% were fabricated by pouring the melt and sudden quenching process. The glass stability factor of
106 C was calculated by glass transition (563 C) and crystallite (669 C) temperatures. The energy bandgap (Eg) of
Dy3?:PAKCLf glasses is calculated for (ahm)2 (direct) and (ahm)1/2 (indirect) allowed transitions. From optical absorption,
the oscillator strength and spectroscopic intensity (X2,4,6) parameters by performing Judd–Ofelt calculations were
estimated to evaluate the radiative transition properties of 4F9/2 level in Dy3? ions. The emission spectra consist of two
intense bands in blue (485 nm: 4F9/2?6H15/2) and yellow (576 nm: 4F9/2?6H13/2) regions by stimulating at 349 nm. The
decay curves demonstrate the non-exponential nature from 0.5 to 3.0 mol% of Dy3? and fitted well to the
Inokuti–Hirayama model. The findings of stimulated emission cross-section (5.20 9 10–21 cm2), optical gain (29.59 9
10–25 cm2s), and quantum efficiency (97%) for Dy3?:PAKCLf glasses could be potentially utilized as optical devices.
The photometric parameters like CIE colour coordinates and correlated colour temperatures (CCT:6300-6900 K)
of Dy3?:PAKCLf glasses reveal the application of white light-emitting diodes.
