Different structural groups like penta- and diborates containing three and four coordinated boron, ring- and chain-type metaborate units containing non-bridging oxygens, and boroxol ring can be found in lead borate glasses. Borate glasses with PbO and\/or PbX2 content doped with Ln3+ have been investigated using spectroscopic methods in relation to practical applications as solid-state laser active media, NIR tuneable lasers, NIR-to-visible up-conversion systems and broadband optical amplifiers. This new book presents aspects concerning the excited state relaxation of Ln3+ ions in lead borate glasses and glass-ceramics are discussed, as well as optical properties of lanthanide-doped lead borate glasses.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886871687511,"sku":"9781616682927","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/lanthanide-doped-lead-borate-glasses-for-optical-applications-9781616682927","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
