Optical properties of crystals and two-phase ceramics of the AgCl0.25Br0.75 – AgI system
Research of materials’ optical properties is critical for further development and manufacturing of optical products. While recently, single crystals and two-phase ceramics of the AgCl0.25Br0.75 – AgI system have been developed by the authors. This work is focused on studying the transmission ranges, refractive index dispersion, optical losses, and photoresistance of materials in the AgCl0.25Br0.75 – AgI system, as well as comparing the properties of single-crystals and ceramics. The materials are transparent in the visible and IR regions from 0.49 to 54 um, as well as in the terahertz (far IR and millimeter regions) of 300–1500 um (0.3–1.0 THz). For all compositions, the refractive index in the IR varied from 2.107 to 2.436. The materials’ absorption coefficients were (0.06–6.67) ∙ 10-4 in the middle IR, which is lower compared to other halide materials known and indicates low optical loss. Finally, both single-crystals and two-phase ceramics showed a trend towards an increase in photoresistance with a rise of the AgI content in the AgCl0.25Br0.75 solid solution. After UV irradiation, the materials showed a decrease in transmission in the visible and middle IR (to 10 µm) with negligible loss at a wavelength of 10 µm or more. For a single crystal and two samples of ceramics with a composition of 20 mol. % AgI in AgCl0.25Br0.75, a comparison of properties was conducted in this study. Based on the comparison results, close but not identical values of the refractive indices, an increase in the absorption coefficient for ceramic materials, and a low photoresistance of the sample obtained from the mechanical mixture were revealed. The last two characteristics are associated with the high heterogeneity of two-phase ceramics based on a mechanical mixture, which leads to a deterioration in functional properties. These results prove high prospects for the use of these materials in fiber optics and photonics for medical technologies, thermography, and optoelectronics.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
