The effect of small phosphorus oxide additions on the optical transmission of silicate glasses in the visible and near-IR regions is studied. It is shown that an increase of the phosphorus concentration is accompanied by an intensification of IR absorption; this is due to an increase of the relative content of divalent iron and its possible transition to octahedral coordination. The increase of visible-range absorption is negligible and cannot become an obstacle for phosphorus doping of commercial silicate glasses.
