Abstract
Optical absorption and transmission spectra of (1-x-y)B2O3-xLi2O-yMCI2 (M=Cd, Zn) glasses of varying compositions were recorded in the UV-visible region. From the spectra, various optical parameters such as optical energy gap (E opt), refractive index (n), optical dielectric constant (ɛ′), width of the tail of localized states in the forbidden gap (ΔE), ratio of carrier concentration to the effective mass (N/m*) and the constantB were evaluated. The effects of composition of glasses on these parameters are discussed.
