Abstract

Photonics properties of glasses can be designed by controlling their complex Kerr nonlinearity. Chemical structure and bonding properties are considered as the origin of glass third-order susceptibilities. Investigation of the role of orbital hybridization on the glass electronic polarizability and third-order susceptibility is carried out. Thus, series of heavy metal lead borate glass of the composition 0.25B2O3–0.75PbO is prepared by melt quenching technique. Orbital hybridization, as a linear combination for valence electron wave functions of p- and d-block elements, is obtained through structural co-substitution of very small contents of Cr2O3 and/or SeO2, by B2O3. It get succeed to tune the glass nonlinear optical characteristics such as; the complex components of third-order susceptibility. Scaling roles describing the relations between oxide ion polarizability and index of refraction and between imaginary part of third-order susceptibility and band gap energy are proposed. The glasses exhibit zero-dispersion wavelength at 1.55 μm band which is needed for telecommunication devices. The polarizability approach is applied to analyze and explain the obtained glass properties.
