Abstract
A lead-barium-aluminum phosphate glass has been prepared by a wet chem ical process. The phosphate glass exhibits high transmission in the vi sible region of the spectrum and into the mid-infrared and can strongl y absorb in the ultraviolet at wavelengths of less than 344 nm. In add ition, the glass has a relatively high index of refraction and a good chemical durability, Therefore, the phosphate glass can be used for ge neral-purpose optical applications.
