D. Lezal et al., GEO2-PBO GLASSY SYSTEM FOR INFRARED FIBERS FOR DELIVERY OF ER-YAG LASER ENERGY, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 196, 1996, pp. 178-182
Glasses based on GeO2 for optoelectronics application are studied. Att
ention is focused on the preparation of glasses of various composition
s of the GeO2-PbO system under a reactive atmosphere for removing hydr
ide impurities. The optical properties. such as infrared absorption an
d reflection spectra, refraction index, and absorption coefficients, i
nfluencing glass composition, are also studied.
