Abstracts

The spectral-luminescent properties of the synthesized bismuth-containing quartz-like glass exposed to heat treatment have been studied. The appearance of the thermoinduced bismuth centers of luminescence, which are the result of the reduction of Bi3+ ions, has been observed. It has been shown that the reduction of Bi3+ ions into Bi2+ proceeds at 870°C. It has been determined that the activation of bismuth centers of IR luminescence in quartz-like glass appears at the temperatures above the glass transition temperature of quartz-like glass T g ∼ 1400°C.
