Improved band-pass characteristics in CuO-coloured glasses

Abstract
Methods to improve the band-pass characteristics of CuO-doped glasses are described. Shifts in the transmission maxima caused by the introduction of 1 mole.% CuO into eight different glass compositions based on silicate, borate, phosphate and tellurite systems are reported. Further shifts in the transmission peaks as well as decreased half-widths were achieved by means of the additional oxides CeO2, TiO2, V2O5, NiO or CoO, each of which on its own would result in cut-on, band-pass or band-reject characteristics in the base glasses. Thus, the possibilities available in the development of new filter glasses with band-pass characteristics are demonstrated.
