A new series of Erbium doped Zinc telluroborate glasses were prepared by melt quenching technique. The stretching and bending vibrations of the B–O and Te–O bonds in the prepared glass network were explored through Raman spectra. The nature of the metal-ligand bond was determined using optical absorption spectra through Nephelauxetic ratio (β) and Bonding parameter (δ) studies. The Judd-Ofelt (JO) parameters (Ω{sub 2}, Ω{sub 4}, Ω{sub 6}) and the oscillator strengths were calculated following JO theory. The relatively higher Ω{sub 2} values reveal the higher asymmetry nature. The green emission corresponding to the {sup 2}H{sub 11/2}+{sup 4}S{sub 3/2}→{sup 4}I{sub 15/2} transition was observed at around 550 nm and the luminescence quenching occurs beyond 1.0 wt% of Erbium ion concentration. Radiative properties for the 1.0EZTB glass are found to be higher and its suitability towards green laser applications were discussed and reported.
