Abstract
This paper reports the formation of a new series of Ho3+-doped fluorop hosphate optical glasses in the chemical formulae: 50(NaPO3)6 + 18 BaF 2 + 10 ZnF2 + 20 RF + 2 HoF3 where RF = LiF, NaF, KF, (LiF-NaF), (NaF- KF) and (KF-LiF). The physical properties, absorption and photolumines cence spectra have been measured to understand the optical behaviours of these Ho3+-glasses as a function of the alkali content changes in t he host glass matrices.
