We are reporting synthesis and structural and optical investigation of strontium bismuth titanate borosilicate glasses with addition of one mole percent cerium oxide (CeO2). Glasses were synthesized by conventional rapid melt quench method. XRD studies of the glass samples confirm the amorphous nature. Infrared absorption spectra various strontium bismuth titanate borosilicate glass samples having glass system 60[()TiO3]-39[2SiO2B2O3]-1[CeO2] () were recorded over a continuous spectral range from 400 to 4000？cm？1. IR spectra were analyzed to determine and differentiate of various vibrational modes in the structural change. Raman spectroscopy of all glass samples was also carried out in the wave number range from 200 to 2000？cm？1. 1. Introduction Glasses are defined as inorganic product of fusion which has been cooled to a rigid condition without crystallization [1]. The main distinction between glass and crystal is the presence of long range order in the crystal structure. For many years glasses containing transition metal ions have attracted attention because of their potential applications in electrochemical, electronic, and electrooptics devices [2]. The most important fact about the glass is that it is amorphous, transparent, and brittle in nature. The glass has been used as an engineering material since ancient time. But because of rapid progress made in the glass industry in recent time, the glass has come out as the most versatile engineering material of the modern time. With help of techniques developed in the glass industry, the glass of any type and quality can be produced to suit the requirements of different industries. Glass has become established as commercially important material in the field of consumer product, vacuum tube envelops, telescope mirror blanks, radomes for the aerospace industry, and protective coating for metal [3]. The study of various oxide glasses has received considerable attention due to their structural property [4, 5]. These glasses have wide application in the field of electronics, nuclear and solar energy technologies, and acoustic-optics device [6–10]. The IR spectroscopy is one of the most common spectroscopic techniques used by organic and inorganic chemists. Simply it is the absorption measurement of different IR frequencies by sample positioned in the path of an IR beam. The main goal of IR spectroscopic analysis is to determine the chemical functional group of the samples. Using various samples accessories, IR spectrometer can accept a range of samples such as gasses, liquids, and solids. The IR spectroscopy
