The melt-quenching technique was used to prepare lanthanum borate glass doping with Tb3+ (LBTb) to investigate physical and luminescent characteristics. The result more a concentration of doped terbium increases the glass density, molar volume, and refractive index. The higher Tb2O3 concentrations in glasses led to an increase of absorbance in the VIS and NIR range. The emission spectra of glasses were recorded at excitation wavelengths of 228 and 377 nm, and it was found that these glasses emit yellowish-green light. Tb3+ doped glass exhibited the highest intensity at 544 nm. The optimal concentration of terbium with the most significant emission in LBTb glass is 7 mol%, whereas decay time decreases as Tb2O3 content increases. The PL measurement showed a similar pattern with the spectrum of RL emissions. Moreover, this glass performs an integral scintillation efficiency of 36.32% compared with BGO crystal. According to the CIE 1931 chromaticity, the LBTb emitted a yellowish-green color. Terbium-doped glasses have attractive potential to be used in yellowish-green lasers.
