ABSTRACT: Niobium-fluorophosphate glasses show promising technological and scientific potential in a wide range of optical and photonic applications due to their properties as a host matrix, such as wide transparency between the ultraviolet and near-infrared, high solubility to rare-earth ions, low phonon energy, and high chemical stability. Efforts were previously made to study the effects that different concentrations of niobium oxide have on the base phosphate glass composition used here in the structural, thermal, and optical properties. However, an exploration of which changes different alkaline earth metals can induce in niobium-phosphate glass properties, considering their modifying role and periodic properties, is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to thoroughly investigate how different a
