摘要
A series of glasses with high Bi2O3 content of Bi2O3-B2O3-WO3 ternary system were chosen and prepared .Their densities and linear refractive indices increase with increasing WO3 content. The optical band gaps Eopt of glasses obtained from ultraviolet absorption edges decreases with increase of WO3 content. Z-scan technique was carried out to investigate the third-order nonlinear optical properties of the glasses. It is found that the nonlinear refraction γ increases with decreasing the optical band gap Eopt, since an increase of WO3 content can promote the non-bridging oxygen ion content, and the highest γ value of samples is 1.173×10-14 cm2/W. The results show that these glasses are potential materials in the application of third-order nonlinear optics field.
