The photoluminescence (PL) properties of rare earth (RE)-doped SnO-ZnO-P sub(2) O sub(5)(RE-SZP) glass were examined in the visible region. RE-SZP glass, except for those doped with Ce super(3+), exhibited similar optical band edges because of the s-p transition in Sn super(2+). The RE super(3+) PL...
