Abstract: | Oxide impurity absorptions in Ge-Se-Te glass fibres and the cause of the absorption loss around 943 cm–1, the frequency of the CO2 laser, have been investigated. The oxygen in the glass bounds preferentially to germanium and causes the absorptions due to Ge-O bond vibrations at 765 cm–1 (band I) and 1230cm–1 (band II). The excess absorptions due to these bands were determined as 0.228cm–1/P.p.m. wt O2 for band-I and 0.006cm–1 /p.p.m. wt O2 for band II. The loss of the fibre at 943cm–1 increased with the oxygen content. It was, however, revealed from the deconvolution of the IR spectra into the independent absorption components that the absorption tails of band I and band II did not affect the loss at 943 cm–1. The content of the impurities except oxygen analysed by a mass spectroscopy was too low to affect the loss at 943 cm–1. |
