Abstract: Trivalent rare earth ions show interesting optical properties and such properties have high technological applications of rare earth doped materials such as energy saving lighting devices, optical displays, optical fibers, amplifiers and lasers. Among these materials rare earth ions doped glasses are of great important to optoelectronics and are widely used in fiber amplifiers and solid state high power lasers for telecommunications and light emitting diodes. Near-infrared luminescence for high power lasers is a current requirement in modern fiber optic telecommunication network and emphasis has to put in recent advances of NIR emitting materials for amplifiers, fiber lasers and waveguides. We make an effort to satisfy the above needs by preparing the LCZSFB glasses doped with Sm3+, Dy3+, Eu3+, Tb3+ and Nd3+ rare earth ions. In this review, optical properties of LCZSFB glasses doped with Sm3+, Dy3+, Eu3+, Tb3+ and Nd3+ rare earth ions and the current status of their applications is given.
