Tuning the optical response of lithium magnesium borate glass via controlled doping of rare earth ions is the key issue in photonic devices. Glasses with composition 30Li2O-(60-x)B2O3-10MgO-xEr2O3, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 are prepared by conventional melt-quenching technique. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pat...
