Optically active glasses and glass ceramics offer a broad range of applications; the functionality can be modified by appropriate doping and thermal processing performed after the glass production. Fluorescence from samarium in glasses has attracted much attention in the past two decades, in particular for studies on spectral-hole burning, excited state absorption, and laser properties. Samarium can enter the glass matrix either in its divalent form and/or as a trivalent ion.

The most efficient fluorescent glasses are characterized by low-phonon energies, a critical parameter leading to reduced non-radiative losses and thus to increased fluorescence efficiencies. However, the phonon frequency is not only dependent on the composition of the matrix the optically-active ion is incorporated into but also by the size of the matrix; in rare-earth doped nanocrystals an increased fluorescence efficiency is found. In this work, we compare the fluorescence efficiency of Sm2+/Sm3+ in different glass systems such as borate glasses, fluorozirconate glasses, or oxyfluoride glasses.
