摘要
In this paper we explore the TeO2-Bi2O3-BaO glass family with varied TeO2 concentration for Raman gain applications, and we report, for the first time, the peak Raman gain coefficients of glasses within this glass family extrapolated from non-resonant absolute Raman cross-section measurements at 785 nm. Estimated Raman gain coefficients show peak values of up to 40 times higher than silica for the main TeO2 bands. Other optical properties, including index dispersion from the visible to the long wave Infrared (LWIR) are also summarized in this paper. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
