Abstract:
An optical article including a core; at least one cladding layer; and a narrow fluorine reservoir between the core and the cladding layer. The fluorine reservoir has a higher concentration of fluorine than either the cladding layer or the core. One particular embodiment includes a core including a halide-doped silicate glass that comprises approximately the following in cation-plus-halide mole percent 0.25-5 mol% Al2O3, 0.05-1.5 mol% La2O3, 0.0005-0.75 mol% Er2O3, 0.5-6 mol% F, 0-1 mol% Cl.

Abstract:
An optical glass with high refractive index and low dispersion, having refractive index nd of 1.78-1.95, Abbe number vd of 32-50, and contains no GeO2, so it is not easily devitrified. An optical glass, represented by cation %, including: 1-20% of Si4+; 25-60% of B3+; 10-40% of La3+; 0-15% of Y3+; 0-20% of Nb5+; 0-15% of Ti4+; 0-10% of Ta5+; 0-5% of W6+; 0-15% of Zr4+; 0-10% of Zn2+; 0-10% of Bi3+. An optical glass with excellent transmittance, an optical glass preform and an optical element formed by the above optical glass. The optical element made by the above optical glass and the above glass preform or optical element blank, such as lens, can be used for optical systems.
Abstract:
A co-doped silicate optical waveguide having a core including silica, and oxides of aluminum, germanium, erbium and thulium. The composition concentrations are: Er from 15 ppm to 3000 ppm; Al from 0.5 mol % to 12 mol %; Tm from 15 ppm to 10000 ppm; and Ge from 1 mol % to 20 mol %. In a specific embodiment, the concentration of Er is from 150 ppm to 1500 ppm; Al is from 2 mol % to 8 mol %; and Tm is from 15 ppm to 3000 ppm. A boron-less cladding surrounds the core.
