Linear and nonlinear refractive index, Abbe number, electronic energy gap and oscillator strength are reported for a new series of (Mg, Ba)F2-based fluorophosphates glasses (MBBA system) doped with rare earth dopants (Er , Nd) in the concentration range of 6.67x10 2.86x10 (ions/cm) and 2.5x10 1.25x10 (ions/cm), respectively. The linear refractive index is found to increase with increasing dopan...
