We developed Sm3+ ion-doped fluoroborotellurite glass using melt and quenching technique. The glass formula is (30-x)TeO2-30B2O3-10ZnF2-30BaO-xSm2O3 where x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mol%. The raw material is melted at 1150 0C for 1.5 hours and annealed at 500 0C for 1.5 hours. All glass samples are cut and polished around 1.5 x 1.0 x 0.35 cm3. Several properties such as physical, optical, photoluminescence and radiative are inspected to understand the Sm3+ ion in the glass matrix. The absorption spectra are observed in the infrared region and show strong absorption peaks at 1232 nm due to 6H5/2→6F7/2 transition. Meanwhile, the photoluminecence properties show the glass sample excessively emits 600 nm under λex=403 nm due to 4G5/2→6H7/2 transition. The CIE 1931 coordinate confirms the orange emission colour of the present glass. The radiative properties of glass sample in the 4G5/2→6H7/2 transition are investigated using Judd-Ofelt theory and shows high potential lasing parameters such as large stimulated emission cross section (σe = 2.04 x 10-21 cm2), high branching ratio (βcal = 0.62), and high quantum efficiency (η = 81%). From all results, we conclude that our glass sample can be developed as a light source of orange LED and laser application.
