Problems solved by technology

[0006] (2) High viscosity: The viscosity of germanate glass is very high, so the gas generated during glass melting is not easy to get rid of, pouring is difficult, and defects such as bubbles and streaks are prone to occur, which affects the quality of the glass and is difficult to meet optical requirements.
[0008] In the process of preparing germanate glass, water molecules are easily mixed into germanate glass, causing hydroxide groups to exist in the glass structure. On the one hand, the glass is easy to devitrify and the chemical stability is reduced; A strong absorption occurs at a wavelength of 3 μm, and the signal transmission of the glass between 3.0 and 4.0 μm will also be greatly affected
The influence of moisture cannot be eliminated by technological measures in the glass melting process alone. If the wave band greatly affected by hydroxyl absorption is in the main working area of ​​the window, the influence of moisture will be fatal

Abstract

The present invention relates to an infrared ray transmitting fluoride-containing germanate glass, which is characterized by that it combines the fluoride and oxide glass, and the GeO2 containing germanate glass composition at least contains two metal fluorides of MF2, MF3 and MF4. In the composition of said germanate glass the addition of fluoride can reduce glass melting temp., reduce glass viscosity and refractive index, can greatly reduce OH group content in the glass and increase the transmittance of 3-5 micrometer wave range, and its transmittance at 3 micrometer wave range can be raised to above 82% from about 25% of existent technology.

Description
