用熔融淬冷法制备了一系列GeS2-Ga2S3-AgCl三元系统硫卤玻璃。研究了样品的密度、热稳定性以及折射率随玻璃组分的变化规律。选取了75GeS2-10Ga2S3-15AgCl玻璃组分进行微晶化处理,并且在350℃下热处理得到了可见至红外透明的微晶玻璃样品。X射线衍射和扫描电子显微镜测试显示,玻璃中析出(Ga4Ge)S4和AgCl微晶相,晶粒尺寸为200~400nm。用Z扫描测量了微晶化前后玻璃样品在800nm波长下的三阶非线性特性,结果表明:在热处理后,玻璃的非线性折射率n2和非线性吸收系数β均明显增加,其中微晶玻璃的最大三阶非线性极化率χ(3)为8.619×10-11esu,是基质玻璃的2.2倍。
A series of chalcohalide glasses based on GeS2-Ga2S3-AgCl ternary system were prepared by melt-quench method,and their composition dependences on densities,thermal stabilities and linear refractive indexes were investigated. Glass in composition of 75GeS2-10Ga2S3-15AgCl (in mole) was selected for microcrystalline and visible/IR transparent glass ceramic samples were ob-tained by heat treating the host at 350 ℃ with different durations. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope measurements confirm the formation of (Ga4Ge)S4 and AgCl phase with grain size of 200-400 nm in the heat-treated samples. Z-scan method was employed to investigate the third-order nonlinear optical characteristics of the samples at 800 nm. The results show that both nonlinear refractive index n2 and nonlinear absorption coefficient β of the glass increase after heat treatment,and the highest third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) of the glass ceramics is 8.619 × 10-11esu which is 2.2 times larger than that of the host.
