Extrinsic Absorption by Copper(II) Ions in Bismuth-Containing Zinc Tellurite Glass

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract—

Optical transmission of Cu2+-doped multicomponent glasses in the TeO2−ZnO–Bi2O3 system has been studied by UV spectroscopy. The glasses have been shown to have a strong absorption band in the wavelength range from 350 to 2700 nm, peaking at ~810 nm. For a series of glasses with a given Cu2+ concentration, we evaluated their specific absorption coefficient in this wavelength range—5200 ± 220 dB/(km ppm) at the peak position—and obtained its spectral dependence.
