Optical absorption spectra and photoluminescence of the glasses $(100-x)$Ag$_{0.05}$Ga$_{0.05}$Ge$_{0.95}$S$_{2}$-$(x)$Er$_{2}$S$_{3}$, where $x=0.42, 0.25, 0.18$ mol.\ 0.000000E+000r$_{2}$S$_{3}$, were investigated in the spectral range 450-1050 nm at room temperature. In the samples we observed a green, intense red and infrared emissions diode laser with the wavelength of 980 nm, corresponding to $^{2}$H$_{11/2}\rightarrow^{4}$I$_{15/2}$, $^{4}$F$_{9/2}\rightarrow^{4}$I$_{15/2}$, $^{4}$S$_{3/2}\rightarrow^{4}$I$_{13/2}$, transitions, respectively, in the Er$^{3+}$ ion and associated with the two-photon absorption processes. The excitation light in the range of fundamental transitions ($λ_{\rm ex}=405$ нм) causes only a green luminescence ($^{2}$H$_{11/2}\rightarrow^{4}$I$_{15/2}$) in the samples with 00.42, 0.25 mol.\ 0.000000E+000r$_{2}$S$_{3}$, which related with the processes of energy exchange between the glass matrix and ions Er$^{3+}$.
