Rare earth ions (REIs) doped tellurite glasses have gained attention due to their potential in solid-state laser applications. This research examines effect of Titanium Nitride nanoparticles (TiN NPs) into erbium-doped sodium zinc tellurite glass in term of their optical performance. A series of glasses with the composition of (79 -x)TeO2- 10ZnO- 10Na2O- 1Er(2)O(3)- xTiN, where 0.1 <= x <= 0.5, is prepared using the melt-quenching technique. The amorphous nature of glasses is confirmed using X-ray diffractometer (XRD). These proposed glasses are characterized with UV-Vis-NIR and photoluminescence spectrometers. The absorption spectra exhibit a total of eight significant bands centred at 451, 489, 521, 544, 652, 799, 976, and 1497 nm. The photoluminescence spectra reveal four prominent bands centred at wavelengths 527 nm ((2)H11/2 to (4)I15/2), 545 nm ((4)S3/2 to (4)I15/2), 551 nm ((4)S3/2 to (4)I15/2) and 652 nm ((4)F9/2 to (4)I15/2). The glass containing 0.1 mol% of TiN NPs shows enhanced photoluminescence intensity. These enhancements are attributed to the surface plasmon resonance of TiN NPs nearly NIR region. The current glass shows potential as new optical fibre amplifier
