Influence of modifier oxides on the structural and optical properties of binary Te O2 glasses

Abstract

Five different glass compositions with equal Te O2 molar concentration and various intermediate constituents were prepared to examine the influence of such intermediate species on the tellurite network. A correlation between the glasses' structural network and optical properties is presented. Peak Raman gain coefficients, on the order of 40 times the gain of Si O2, are reported in this paper. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
