WO3-induced crystallization and enhanced orange–red luminescence in Sm3+ -doped Lithium-Strontium-Bismuth-Borate glasses and glass-ceramics

Key Points

• Enhanced orange-red luminescence is observed in Sm3+-doped lithium-strontium-bismuth-borate glass-ceramics.
• The introduction of WO3 promotes crystallization, reaching significant luminescent levels.
• Analysis of glass samples reveals improved optical properties due to the interaction between materials and doping elements.
• These findings indicate potential applications in optical devices, emphasizing the need for further studies on material behaviors.
