Abstract:Low fluorine content containing fluorophosphate glasses have promising potential as ultraviolet (UV) optics to be used in high-energy laser systems. Systematic studies on the iron-doped and iron-free fluoride-containing phosphate glasses that were prepared at high and low melting temperatures explore the underlying interrelationship among the glass preparation conditions, intrinsic defects in produced glasses, and the anti-laser-damage properties. For the iron-doped fundamental frequency (1ω) absorptive glass,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
