Series of ternary glass systems namely, Na2O, B2O3, and RO (R= Ba or Mg) doped with
TiO2 are synthesized. The present glasses are dictated by requirement for a small refractive …

A well-motivated class of dark matter candidates, including axions and dark photons, takes
the form of coherent oscillations of a light bosonic field. If the dark matter couples to standard …

There is a growing demand for high-performance infrared (IR) materials with longer
wavelength optical transmission, higher mechanical strength, and increased thermal …

This paper presents a thorough analysis on the temperature dependence of the thermo-optic
coefficient, dn/d T, of four bulk annealed pure-silica glass samples (type I—natural quartz …

Silicate glasses are important cultural, societal, and geological materials. Geologic glasses
testify to the igneous activity of the Earth, and represent an important source of tools and …

Silicate‐based multicomponent glasses are of high interest for technical applications due to
their tailored properties, such as an adaptable refractive index or coefficient of thermal …

Transparent silica glass is an indispensable material for today's information technology
society as an ultra-low loss optical fiber. Recently, further low-loss optical fibers are …

Rayleigh scattering attributed to the density fluctuation of silica glass is considered as the
intrinsic origin of optical loss in glass fiber. Therefore, minimizing the density fluctuation is …
