Experimental and theoretical approach on the optical properties of zinc borotellurite glass doped with dysprosium oxide

The generation of the white light can be achieved by using two emission bands which comprise of the yellow and blue emission. The white light emission of the glass systems is confirmed by using the Commission International de I'Eclairage 1931 (CIE 1931) chromaticity diagram. The colour coordinate of the zinc borotellurite glass systems doped Dy2O3 is tabulated in Table 3 while Fig. 10 represents the colour chromaticity diagram of Dy2O3 doped zinc borotellurite glass systems. Based on the result obtained, the CIE coordinate for the zinc borotellurite glass doped with dysprosium oxide lies closed to the standard white light point which located at x = 0.333 and y = 0.333 [63,64]. This suggests that the zinc borotellurite glass doped with Dy2O3 may be useful for the solid state lighting application.84
