Abstract
Room-temperature visible luminescence from Pr3+ ions embedded in germa nium sulfide glass hosts is reported along with edge luminescence from these hosts. The important role of energy transfer processes between the host and Pr ions is demonstrated experimentally through the depend encies of photoluminescence on excitation wavelength, temperature, and polarization.
