[Luminescence character of Ce3+ in rare earth borate glasses]

Ce3+ doped rare earth borate glasses (BLBL:Ce3+) were synthesized. The excitation and emission spectra and fluorescence decay curves of BLBL:Ce3+ were measured at room temperature. In BLBL:Ce3+ glasses, Ce3+ emits strong purplish-blue light. The results of analyzing spectra and fluorescence lifetime show that there are two kinds of Ce3+ luminescence centres in this kind of rare earth borate glasses. Ce3+ doped rare-earth glasses is a kind of beneficial supplement for Ce3+ fluorescence glasses system.
