The composition of glass has been selected in terms of good thermal stability, high transparency in the near infrared region and high refractive index. The luminescence at a wavelength of 1534nm has been obtained as a result of radiative transition <sup>4</sup>I<sub>13/2</sub> &rarr; <sup>4</sup>I<sub>15/2</sub> in erbium ions due to 98 nm laser diode excitation. Different emission intensity in produced glasses has been observed as a result of various molar concentration of erbium in the glass matrix. The highest luminescence value has been obtained in glass doped with 1.0 mol% Er<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>. <br /> <br /> Full Text: <a class="file" href="/PLP/index.php/letters/article/view/7-14/390" target="_parent">PDF</a> <br /> <br /> <strong>References</strong> <ol> <li> Y.
