In this work spectroscopic and laser characteristic of photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glasses doped with different concentrations of rare-earth ions (ytterbium-erbium and Neodymium) were comprehensively carried out. Spectroscopic parameters were obtained using some theoretical techniques like Judd-Ofelt theory and Fuchtbauer-Landenburg (F-L) theory. Results show that the optimal concentration of neodymium oxide in PTR is 0.5 mol%, at which the glass demonstrates the best spectral characteristics. It was found that PTR glass doped with 0.1 mol% of erbium oxide and codoped with 2 mol% of ytterbium oxide also shows good spectral-luminescent properties. Laser action on those two samples was demonstrated. optical losses were found to be 0.34 % for neodymium- doped PTR active element and 0.28 % in the case of erbium and ytterbium co-doped active element. These values are quite low and compared to that obtained in commercial laser glasses.
