Abstract:Glasses doped with transition metal (TM) ions exhibit rich optical transitions spanning the entire ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectral regimes. Here we utilize the melt-quenching techniques to synthesis binary-TM-doped borate glasses of composition xCuO-(75-x)B2O3-24.7Li2O-0.3Cr2O3, with x = 0, 0.2, 1.0 and 2.0 mol %. We identify several optical transitions from Cr3+, Cr6+, and Cu2+ ions, the latter manifests at longer wavelengths and gains higher intensity with Cu additives. Despite Cr concentration b… Show more
