Abstract
Er3+ ions doped in CdS silica glasses were prepared by sol-gel route. Absorption and photoluminescence spectra of the glasses were analyzed in the light of the Judd-Ofelt theory. Spectroscopic analysis of the multiphoton processes in the glasses was carried out by monitoring the upconversion luminescence. The study reveals the potential of the present glass for the 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 and 2H11/2 → 4I15/2 Erbium lasing transitions..
