This paper presents the optical absorption and luminescence properties of Er³⁺ doped mixed alkali borosilicate glasses: 59.5SiO₂ · 20B₂O₃ · xLi₂O · (20 − x)Na₂O · 0.5Er₂O₃ and 59.5SiO₂ · 20B₂O₃ · xLi₂O · (20 − x)K₂O · 0.5Er₂O₃, with x = 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mol % . The variations of Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters (Ω₂, Ω₄, and Ω₆), hypersensitive transition intensities, total radiative transition probability (A_T), radiative lifetimes (τ_R), integrated absorption cross-sections (Σ) and stimulated emission cross-sections (σ_p) as a function of x are discussed in detail. The changes in Ω₂ and intensities of hypersensitive transitions are attributed to optical basicity changes in the host glass matrix, which leads to variations in the covalency of the Er–O bond. The luminescence properties are reported for certain transitions, and the emission cross-section is high at x = 8–12 in the case of lithium sodium glass, whereas in lithium potassium glass it is high at x = 8.
