Spectroscopic Properties of TeO2-Bi2O3-ZnO-PbO Based Tellurite Glasses

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tellurite glasses with molar compositions of 55TeO2–2Bi2O3–[43-x] ZnO–xPbO (in mol%) with x= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 was fabricated by melt quenching method. Their absorption spectra ranging from ultraviolet to infrared region were measured using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and FTIR. Minimum losses of all glasses were then estimated from the intersection of the ‘V’ curve formed from the intersection of the extrapolation of the IR edge on the long wavelength side of the spectrum and the scattering loss curve on the short wavelength side of the spectrum. From this work, it was that the estimated minimum loss of the investigated glasses were within the range between 2.31·10-3dB/m and 2.94·10-3 dB/m at wavelength around 5.5 μm.
