研究目的
Investigating the purification techniques of tellurite glasses to enhance their mid-infrared transmission performances for optical fiber applications.
研究成果
The review concludes that the best mid-IR transmission in tellurite fibers is achieved by synthesizing glasses under rich O2 atmosphere with platinum crucibles and using desiccant reagents like ZnF2. These optimized fibers enable supercontinuum generation up to 5 μm, opening new possibilities for mid-IR applications.
研究不足
The review highlights the technical challenges in achieving ultra-low OH content in tellurite glasses, including the difficulty in processing high-purity precursors and the potential for contamination during fiber drawing. The effectiveness of purification techniques is limited by the thermodynamic and kinetic constraints of the reactions involved.
