  ABSTRACT: Doped and undoped nanostructured titanium dioxides were prepared via Sol-Gel method under varying conditions to investigate the effects of neodymium ion doping on the titania optical properties in MID IR range. X-ray diffraction analyses show that the amorphous structure of the prepared samples turns to anatas polycrystalline structure after annealing process at 500°C. FTIR spectrums for pure and doped samples after annealing show a single transmission peak at wave number around 1200 cm-1. The transmission rate of the peak depends on Nd3+ concentrations and its value rises from 1.82% (for pure TiO2) to 86.9% (for doped with 12%wt Nd3+). Shifting on the peak occurs with a maximal shift at 7%wt Nd3+ and then becomes stable at higher concentration. FTIR spectra give a good indication in the direction of preparation of optical band-pass filter at a wavelength around 8.34 μm (~1200 cm-1).
