Optical properties of bismuth borate glasses

Optical properties of glasses in the binary system bismuth oxide (Bi 2O 3)–boric oxide (B 2O 3) are measured for the composition range 25–65 mol% Bi 2O 3. Both, refractive indices and ultraviolet absorption edge, show an expressed dependence on composition. A generalized Sellmeier formula is derived...

Summary:Optical properties of glasses in the binary system bismuth oxide (Bi 2O 3)–boric oxide (B 2O 3) are measured for the composition range 25–65 mol% Bi 2O 3. Both, refractive indices and ultraviolet absorption edge, show an expressed dependence on composition. A generalized Sellmeier formula is derived to describe the refractive indices for the whole composition range and a wide wavelength range.
