Abstract
Chalcogenide glasses of the composition 0.7Ga2S3·0.27La2S3·0.03Nd2S3 doped by 3 mol% of Nd3+ were prepared. The absorption and emission spectra of these glasses were compared to those of commercial ED-2 3.1 wt.% Nd-doped silicate glass. The absorption intensities of Nd3+ in chalcogenide glass are higher than in silicate glass due to the increasing covalency of Nd3+ in these glasses. Because of the low phonon frequency of the chalcogenide glasses nonradiative relaxations from the 4F 5 2, 2H 9 2 to the 4F 3 2 are lower than in other oxide glasses and so fluorescence from this state is observed.
