Mn(II) doped P2O5-ZnO-CaO glasses are being characterized by techniques like XRD, UVVisible and different physical properties. XRD patterns in present glasses have confirmed the amorphous nature of glass samples. The optical absorption spectrum exhibited three bands which are characteristic of Mn(II) in distorted octahedral site symmetry., The density is one of the tools to reveal the degree of structural changes of the glass network with composition. The higher value of optical basicity parameter for PMn1is observed, giving an indication to use the glass sample to design novel optical functional materials with higher optical performance
