| Abstract: | We have studied the effect of In3+, Pb2+, Gd3+, and Cl (heavier ions) substitutions for Al3+, Ba2+, La3+, and F? on the crystallization stability and UV/IR optical properties of HBLAN fluorohafnatc glasses (HfF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF system). We obtained stable glasses containing InF3 and BaCl2 instead of AlF3 and BaF2, respectively, and offering increased IR transmission. The presence of CCl4 in the process atmosphere and the removal of oxygen-containing impurities via directional solidification are shown to have an advantageous effect on the optical quality of the glasses. The fluoride-chloride glasses are capable of accommodating about 1.5 times higher levels of rare-earth activators in comparison with their fluoride analogs. |
