Rare Earth Elements-doped glasses have applications in many fields, and for example, Al and Ce codoping in silica optical fibers is usually done to attenuate the optical degradation (photodarkening) of, e.g. Yb and Tm doped silica optical fibers. To shed some light on the effect of codoping on the optical properties and the glass structure of...

Network structures of glasses and glass fibers are tailored by glass designers using various combinations of oxides or raw materials to achieve desirable properties for specific applications. It has been well accepted in the glass community that the glass network structures are affected not only by composition, but also melt history (melting...

Among rare-earth ions, cerium is widely used in laser technology, fast scintillators and white emitting LEDs thanks to its ability to emit in the UV-visible. This emission band is due to the transition of an electron from the 5d energy levels to the 4f ones. As a consequence, the position of its emission wavelength depends strongly on the...
