The invention discloses a preparation method of transparent glass with an intermediate
infrared 3.9 mum
luminescence characteristic at
room temperature. The
chemical composition of the glass substrateis (mol%) 26InF3-14ZnF2-19BaF2-11GaF3-8SrF2-12PbF2-5LiF-(4-x)LaF3-xHoF3-1NdF3 (x is equal to 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, named as xHo-1Nd). The sum of the
molar percentages of all the compounds is 100%. The preparation method comprises the following steps of 1) weighing each compound, and stirring and mixing in a
mortar, 2) putting the mixture into a
platinum crucible, and putting the
platinum crucibleinto a 850 DEG C high-temperature furnace for heat preservation for 30 minutes, 3) after the solution glass is cooled, putting the solution glass into a glove box, heating the solution glass for 2 hours at 850 DEG C in an environment full of
nitrogen, and pouring the solution glass onto a
copper plate preheated at 240 DEG C, and 4) placing the sample in an annealing furnace for annealing treatment to eliminate stress in the glass, and cooling to
room temperature after 3 h. The glass prepared by the method has the advantages of high transparency, high luminous efficiency, excellent
chemical stability, simple preparation process, and realization of
batch production, and can be used as a
gain material of an intermediate
infrared fiber laser.
