Abstract


Lithium tungsten borate glass of the composition (0.56-x)B 2O 3-0.4Li 2O-xZnO-0.04WO 3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1 mol.%) is prepared for photonics applications. The glass is doped with ZnO to tune the glass absorption characteristics in a wide spectrum range (200-2500 nm). Chemical bond approach, including chemical structure, electronegativity, bond ionicity, nearest-neighbor coordination, and other chemical bonding aspect, is used to analyze and to explain the obtained glass properties such as: transmittance, absorption, electronic structure parameters (bandgap, Fermi level, and Urbach exciton-phonon coupling), Wannier free excitons excitation (applying Elliott's model), and two-photon absorption coefficient as a result of replacement of B 2O 3 by ZnO. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
