Synthesis of glasses with a high content of divalent tin and fabrication of fiber lightguides based on them

摘要

A procedure for the synthesis of glasses with satisfactory optical quality in the SnO-GeO2-SiO2 system has been developed. Using the rod-in-tube method, SnO-containing lightguide fibers were fabricated both in a quartz cladding and in a cladding of the more fusible Shott 8253 mtdticomponent aluminosilicate glass.
