A series of the Tb- and Dy-doped glasses with Li2O-2B2O3 (or Li2B4O7:Tb and Li2B4O7:Dy) composition were synthesised and their spectroscopic properties were investigated. The Li2B4O7:Tb and Li2B4O7:Dy glasses of high chemical purity and optical quality were obtained from corresponding polycrystalline compounds in the air using standard glass technology. The Tb and Dy impurities were added to Li2B4O7 composition in the form of Tb2O3 and Dy2O3 oxide compounds in amounts of 0.5 and 1.0 mol%. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), luminescence excitation and emission spectra of the Li2B4O7:Tb and Li2B4O7:Dy glasses were investigated. On the basis of EPR and photoluminescence spectra analysis it was shown that the Tb and Dy impurities are incorporated in the Li2B4O7 glass network as Tb3+ (4f8, 7F6) and Dy3+ (4f9, 6H15/2) ions, exclusively. All observed transitions of the Tb3+ and Dy3+ centres in the luminescence excitation and emission spectra were identified. The luminescence kinetics shows single exponential decay for Tb3+ and Dy3+ centres in Li2B4O7 glasses. The lifetime values for main emission transitions of the Tb3+ and Dy3+ centres in the Li2B4O7 glasses containing 0.5 and 1.0 mol% Tb2O3 and Dy2O3 are determined at T = 300 K. Peculiarities of optical properties and local structure of the Tb3+ and Dy3+ centres in the Li2B4O7:Tb and Li2B4O7:Dy glasses as well as their potential applications have been discussed.
