Protection Glass Eyewear Against a YAG Laser Based on a Bandpass Absorption Filter

Abstract

In this article, copper zinc phosphate glass doped with 5 % barium oxide has an amazing optical property due to its application as bandpass filters. Typically, the glass conventional casting with chemical composition 42P2O5–(14- x)Na2O–39ZnO–5BaO–xCu2O where (x = 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) was formed. The density was measured using the conventional Archimedes method and the molar volume was calculated. The change of glass structure was investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Distinctly, the results revealed that no crystal growth in all glass systems was observed. The density of glass samples was increased whereas the molar volume was decreased with increasing copper content. The absorption, transmission and reflection were measured and some other optical properties were calculated like UV cut-off, and IR cut-off. For instance, the visible cut-off started from 462 to 532 nm while the IR bonds were initiated at 630 to 1200 nm with 6 to 10 % Cu2O concentration.
