Abstract
Refractive index dispersion curves in the wavelength region of 0.40 to 5.03 μm are presented for multi-component oxide glass systems: borate, silicate, aluminate, germanate, tellurite, antimonate and heavy metal gallate. The material dispersion was determined using the refractive index data. Reflection spectra in the ultraviolet and infrared regions were measured to investigate the effects of electronic transitions and lattice vibrations on the material dispersion. Thallium tellurite, thallium antimonate and lead gallate glasses exhibit zero material dispersion wavelengths (ZMDWs) over 2.4 μm. The factors affecting the ZMDW are discussed.
