Abstract
Fluoride glasses remain to be an attractive material for thirty years for optical applications lying in the visible and mid IR spectral range due to their low phonon energy (∼500-600 cm−1) and as a unique matrix for introducing rare earth activators. Modern materials science studies in the area of fluoride glasses are aimed at searching for the new modified compositions of these glasses with high optical homogeneity with the purpose of creating efficient active optical media in a wide spectral range. By modifying the composition of the glasses one can control the thermal, optical and spectroscopic properties for various applications. The information on glass-formation in the fluorozirconate system ZBLAN (ZrF4–BaF2–LaF3–AlF3–NaF) modified with “heavier” cations and anions, their physico-chemical and optical properties and areas of applications is presented in this review. Promising directions of practical application of such materials, doped with 4f- and 3d-cations in optoelectronics are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
