Metallic Halide Optical Glasses: Synthesis and Characterization of IR Transmitting Fluoride Glasses

In this thesis, heavy metal fluoride glasses based on ZrF4, HfF4 and BaF2/ThF4 have been studied. The ZrF4- and HfF4-based glasses exhibit considerable promise as high transparency materials from the UV to the IR (0.2 - 7 micro m) and the BaF2/ThF4-based glasses exhibit transparency over even a larg...
