Glass matrices doped with rare earths and Cu were synthesized using copper concentration as the control parameter. The amorphous phase of lithium borate was corroborated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) while size distribution of Nanoparticles was obtained by transmittance electron microscopy (TEM) and crystal phase of Cu nanoparticles was obtained by high resolution transmittance electron microscopy (HRTEM). For photoluminescence, characterizations used were absorbance, photoluminescence emission (PL) and experimental decay times; from the data obtained we performed Judd–Ofelt analysis. With absorbance and PL characterizations in conjunction with CIE 1931, efficiency and shift to white light emission were evaluated. The insights gained from this study have significant implications for future research focused on enhancing the photoluminescence properties of rare earth-doped systems. A comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind these phenomena enables us to leverage plasmon effects in similar systems, leading to diverse applications such as color tuning emission.
