Optical absorption studies of free base and rare earth incorporated phthalocyanine doped borate glass matrix are reported. The absorption spectra recorded in the UV-VIS region show two well defined absorption bands of phthalocyanine (Pc) molecule, namely the Soret band (B) and the Q band. The Q band always shows its characteristic splitting in all the doped glass matrices and the intensities of these components are found to vary from one Pc to another.
