Abstract

The formation of nanoparticles of semiconducting lead sulfide in silicate and borosilicate glasses matrices is investigated. The dependence of the size of PbS particles on the temperature-time heat-treatment conditions is identified. The effect of clarification arising in theses nanostructural glass materials is established. The glasses developed can be used as solid passive locks in lasers radiating in the short IR spectrum range.
