Abstract
New lithium-barium-lead-bismuth glasses with low OHâ concentration have been obtained. The role of the different components in the glass formation has been explored from the thermal, density, and refractive index measurements. The Tg, Tx, and TxâTg values of these glasses are in the range of 358-400, 453-575, and 87-197 °C, respectively. The densities (Ï) and refractive indices of these glasses are mainly affected by Bi2O3 and PbO contents. A wide transmitting window from visible to infrared (IR) regions for some compositions of these glasses has been observed, which makes them appealing candidates for different optical applications such as upconverting phosphors, new laser materials, optical waveguides, and crystal-free fibre drawing.
