The limits for glass formation are reported in the Sb$_{mathbf {2}} mathbf {O} _{mathbf {3}}$-PbO-ZnO ternary system. Thermal measurements implemented by differential scanning calorimetry show that Tg is above 300°C. As a general trend, Tg increases with zinc oxide content. The influence of the ZnO substitution on the optical and physical properties has been studied in the (80$-textbf{x}$)Sb2O3-20PbO-xZnO system: Vickers micro-hardness, Young’s modulus increase as zinc oxide concentration increases. An inverse dependence is observed for density. U.V. transmission stabilized around 75% and extended IR transmission is obtained. This behavior is discussed in relation to structural hypothesis.","PeriodicalId":448071,"journal":{"name":"2019 Photonics North (PN)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128257744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The geometrical dimensions are carefully optimized such that two absorption bands at $2.7~mu text{m}$ and $6~mu text{m}$, whose peaks are over 99%, are created.
