The effect of host glass composition on the optical absorption spectra of $Nd^{3+}$, $Sm^{3+}$, and $Dy^{3+}$ in lead borate glasses, with PbO contents varying from 30 to 70 mol %, has been analyzed using Judd-Ofelt theory and the compositional dependence has been determined for the hypersensitive bands. Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters $\Omega_t$ (t=2,4,6), and the radiative transition probabilities. The variation of $\Omega_2$ with PbO content has been attributed to changes in the asymmetry of the ligand field at the rare-earth (R) site due to the structural changes and to changes in R-O covalency, whereas the variation of $\Omega_6$ has been related to the variation in R-O covalency. The radiative transition probabilities of the rare-earth ions are large in lead borate glasses suggesting their suitability for laser applications.
