摘 要:Spectroscopic and fluorescence properties of Nd 3+ ions in sodium fluoroborate(SFB) glasses were prepared and characterized through optical absorption,emission and decay measurements.The energy level analysis was carried out using free-ion Hamiltonian model.Experimental oscillator strengths were determined by measuring the area encompassed by the absorption peaks recorded for 1.0 mol.% Nd 3+-doped glasses.The Judd-Ofelt parameters(2,4,6) were used to evaluate the laser characteristic parameters such as radiative transition probability(A R),radiative decay time(τ R),fluorescence branching ratio(β R) and stimulated emission cross-section(σ e) for the 4 F 3/2 metastable state.The fluorescence spectra for different concentrations of Nd 3+ ions were recorded by exciting the samples at 514.5 nm Ar + ion laser.
