A new series of neodymium doped barium bismuth fluoroborate glasses with the chemical composition of (70-x)H3BO3 + 5Bi2O3 + 10BaCO3 + 7.5CaF2 + 7.5ZnO + xNd2O3 (where x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 (in wt.%) have been prepared by the conventional melt quenching method. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the amorphous nature of the prepared glasses. The Urbach energy reveals the minimum disorderness of the glass samples. Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters (Ωλ = 2, 4 and 6) were derived from the absorption spectrum and were used to calculate the emission properties. The near infrared emission spectra recorded with 808 nm laser diode excitation for different concentrations of Nd3+ ions and the emission for the 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 transition at 1060 nm found to be high intense. The measured decay curves for 4F3/2 fluorescent level exhibit single exponential nature with shortening of lifetime with increase in concentration. The laser parameters such as stimulated emission cross-section, branching ratios, gain band width and optical gain values are found to be high for BBFB:Nd3+ (0.5 wt%) glass. Hence, the results suggested that the present BBFB:Nd3+ (0.5 wt%) glass could be used as an efficient infrared laser source around 1.06 μm region.
