Spectroscopic and physical properties of V{sub 2}O{sub 5} doped mixed alkali borate glasses are investigated. Borate glasses containing fixed concentrations of alkaline earth oxides (MgO and BaO) and alkali oxides (K{sub 2}O and Na{sub 2}O) were changes and are prepared by melt quenching technique. The values of r{sub i}, r{sub p}, R{sub m}, α{sub m} molar volume and Λ{sub th} increase and oxygen packing density, density and dopant ion concentration decrease with increasing of K{sub 2}O content. As a result there shall be an increase in the disorder of the glass network. The optical band gap energies, Urbach energy, boron-boron separation,refractive index, dielectric constant, electronic polarizability and reflection loss values are varies nonlinearly with the K{sub 2}O content which manifests the mixed alkali effect.
