Abstract: Sm3+ doped soda lime silicate glasses co-doped with As_2O_3 were prepared and characterised by measuring their absorption spectra in UV-VIS/NIR regions and luminescence spectra in the visible region. Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters, Ω_λ, were evaluated from the measured intensifies of the various absorption bands. Ω_λ parameters of these glasses were compared with the Ω_λ parameters of other reported Sm~(3+) glasses to study the bonding environment surrounding the Sm~(3+) in the present glasses. Presence of [AsO_4]_3- tetrahedra in the second coordination sphere around the central Sm3+ ion made these glasses less covalent as compared to other oxide glasses but the ratio Ω_4/Ω_6 of the~1.83 indicated them to be fairly stable. With the help of Ω_λ parameters and luminescence data for various emission lines, radiative properties for different emission lines were calculated. The values of radiative properties indicated that ~4G_(5/2)→~6H_(7/2) and ~4G_(5/2)→~6H_(9/2) transitions responsible for orange luminescence might be used in the development of materials for LED's and other optical devices in the visible region.
