Abstract

A novel 70TeO₂–15ZnO-6.5La₂O₃-8.5WO₃ tellurite glass (mol%, TZLW) was synthesized via melt-quenching. The potential of this glass as an acousto-optic (AO) material in the visible to Mid-infrared range (0.40–5.4 μm) was evaluated. With a large diameter (50 mm), low hydroxyl absorption (0.2 cm⁻¹ at about 3.4 μm) and high optical homogeneity (Δn = 5.941 × 10⁻⁴), the glass shows great potential for high-performance optical devices. Comprehensive characterization of optical, thermomechanical, laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) and AO properties was performed, with particular emphasis on their correlation with structural features revealed by Raman spectrum. The measured acoustic attenuation at 100 MHz was 3.94 dB/cm, corrected to 3.31 dB/cm using an interfacial reflection correction method - the first reported application of such methodology in AO glass systems, to the best of our knowledge. The LIDT measured at 800 nm (130 fs pulse width, 1 kHz repetition rate) reaches 0.572 J/cm², which is 4 times greater than commercial As₂S₃ glass. Moreover, the AO figure of merit M₂ reaches 37.2 × 10⁻¹⁵ s³/kg at 1550 nm, exceeding all previously reported tellurite glasses and being 24 times greater than commercial quartz glass.

TeO2-ZnO-La2O3-WO3碲酸盐玻璃的研究：一种有前途的可见和中红外声光材料

采用熔融淬火法制备了新型70TeO2-15ZnO-6.5La2O3-8.5WO3碲酸盐玻璃（mol%， TZLW）。在可见光到中红外（0.40 ~ 5.4 μm）范围内评价了该玻璃作为声光材料的潜力。该玻璃直径大（50 mm），羟基吸收低（约3.4 μm处为0.2 cm−1），光学均匀性高（Δn = 5.941 × 10−4），在高性能光学器件中具有很大的潜力。综合表征了光学、热力学、激光诱导损伤阈值（LIDT）和AO性能，特别强调了它们与拉曼光谱揭示的结构特征的相关性。在100 MHz处测量的声衰减为3.94 dB/cm，使用界面反射校正方法校正为3.31 dB/cm -据我们所知，这是首次报道将这种方法应用于AO玻璃系统。在800 nm （130 fs脉冲宽度，1 kHz重复率）下测量的LIDT达到0.572 J/cm2，是商用As2S3玻璃的4倍。此外，在1550 nm处，AO值M2达到37.2 × 10−15 s3/kg，超过所有先前报道的碲酸盐玻璃，是商用石英玻璃的24倍。
