ABSTRACT: Glass of the system: (35-x) P2O5:10ZnO:10Li2O:10Al2O3:15Sb2O3:20B2O3: xTm2O3. (where x=1, 1.5,2 mol %) have been prepared by melt-quenching method. (where x=1,1.5 and 2 mol%) have been prepared by melt-quenching technique. The amorphous nature of the prepared glasssamples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Optical absorption and fluorescence spectra were recorded at roomtemperature for all glass samples.Judd-Ofeltintensity parameters Ωλ (λ=2, 4 and6) are evaluated from theintensities of various absorption bands of opticalabsorption spectra. Using these intensity parameters variousradiative properties like spontaneous emission probability, branching ratio, radiative life time and stimulatedemission cross–section of various emission lines have been evaluated....
