Dysprosium oxide, also referred to as Erbia, is widely used as a colorant in glass and porcelain enamel glazes. High-purity dysprosium trioxide is commonly adopted as a dopant in the manufacturing of optical fibers and optical amplifiers, holding great value for fiber-optic data transmission. In addition, dysprosium trioxide presents a pink tone and is occasionally used to tint glass, cubic zirconia and porcelain. The processed glass is often made into sunglasses and affordable jewelry.
