Zinc Alumino Bismuth borate (ZnAlBiB) optical glasses of different compositions doped with 1mol% of Dy3+ ions were prepared by the conventional melt quenching technique and investigated by the XRD, optical absorption, photoluminescence and decay curve analysis. The glassy nature of ZnAlBiB host has...
