Borate glasses of the system xNd{sub 2}O{sub 3}-(1-x) La{sub 2}O{sub 3}-SrCO{sub 3}-10H{sub 3}BO{sub 3} (with x = 0 and 0.05) were prepared by using a convectional melt quenching technique. The amorphous nature of the quenched glasses has been confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. In order to study the spectroscopic and nonlinear optical properties of fabricated glasses, ultraviolet-visible transmission spectroscopy and open aperture z-scan measurements have been employed. In Nd doped glasses, the transition {sup 4}I{sub 9/2} → {sup 4}G{sub 5/2} + {sup 2}G{sub 7/2} has found more prominent than the other transitions. Optical band gap energies of glasses have been determined and found less for Nd doped glass.
