Samarium doped Na2O-ZnO-TeO2 (NZT) glasses were prepared by the melt quenching method. The glass-forming ability and glass stability of prepared glass was estimated by Hruby parameter using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermo-gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The study of FTIR spectra and X-ray diffraction described the ionic nature and the amorphous pattern of glass respectively. The absorption peaks were observed for the transitions 6H5/2-4P3/2 at 402 nm,6H5/2-4M19/2 at 418 nm, 6H5/2-4I15/2 at 462 nm and 6H5/2-4I11/2 at 478 nm in the absorption spectra. The optical band gap energy (Eg) was calculated and observed to be decreased from 2.95 eV to 1.50 eV with doping concentration. The visible emission band was observed in the Sm3+ doped glass samples. The variation of dielectric constant with frequency was found to be independent for the frequency range 3 kHz - 2 MHz. The measurement of temperature-dependent dc conductivity showed Arrhenius type mechanism of conduction.
