Spectral-luminescence properties of zinc-phosphate ZnO–P2O5 (PZ) glasses doped with 0.25…1.00 mol. % Er2O3 were studied. It has been shown that an increase in the Er2O3 concentration in the synthesized glasses leads to intensity growth of the luminescence band with a maximum at a ~1537 nm. The values of the intensity phenomenological parameters ?t (t = 2, 4, 6) of Judd–Ofelt were estimated and the probabilities of radiation transitions, branching ratio, cross sections of the induced radiation and radiation lifetimes of the excited state were calculated. The obtained results demonstrate the potential of using the material under study as an infrared amplifier.
