| Abstract: | Ultraviolet transmission characteristics of LG-810 fluorophosphate laser glass were investigated as a means of diagnosing transition metal contamination. Absorption bands normally exhibited by this glass were shown to derive primarily from metallic impurities. Uv-transparent glasses were produced having absorption cut-offs close to those reported for BeF2-based glasses. |
