Use Of Cscl To Enhance The Glass Stability Range Of Tellurite Glasses For Er3+ Doped Optical Fiber Drawing

Tellurite glasses are important as a host of Er3+ ions because of their great solubility and because they present broader gain bandwidths than Er3+-doped silica, with promise to increase the bandwidth of communication systems. However, the small glass stability range (GSR) of tellurite glasses compromises the quality of the optical fibers. We show that the addition of CsCl to tellurite glasses can increase their GSR, making it easier to draw good quality optical fibers. CsCl acts as a network modifier in glass systems, weakening the network by forming Te-Cl bonds. We show that the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch is in the right direction for optical fiber fabrication purposes and that the Bi2O3 content can be used to control the refractive index of clad and core glasses. Single-mode and multi-mode Er3+-doped optical fibers were produced by the rod-in-tube method using highly homogeneous TeO2-ZnO-Li 2O-Bi2O3-CsCl glasses. Far infrared spectra of the glass samples exhibit absorption bands of the Te-Cl bond.6469Mori, A., Ohishi, Y., Sudo, S., Erbium-doped tellurite glass fibre laser and amplifier (1997) Electron.

Etude des propriétés de conduction et structurales des verres du système Hgl -Ag S-As S (application en tant que capteur chimique)

Les verres du système binaire Ag S-As S sont connus pour être de très bons conducteurs ioniques et l ajout de HgI permet d envisager une application des verres du pseudo-ternaire HgI -Ag S-As S en tant que membrane ionique spécifique dédiée au dosage du mercure en solution aqueuse. Les limites de son domaine vitreux ont été vérifiées à l aide de la diffraction des rayons X. Les évolutions des propriétés macroscopiques des verres, incluant les densités et les températures caractéristiques (Tg, Tc et Tf) ont été analysées de façon systématique. Les propriétés de conduction des verres HgI -Ag S-As S ont été évaluées à l aide de la spectroscopie d impédance complexe et de la diffusion du traceur radioactif 108mAg. Un des résultats les plus marquants dans ces verres conducteurs ioniques est l augmentation de la conductivité lorsque Ag S est substitué par HgI . Afin de comprendre les mécanismes de conduction mis en jeu, des études structurales ont été menées par spectroscopie Raman, diffusion de neutrons et diffraction des rayons X haute énergie. Pour appréhender la structure de ces verres complexes, des études préalables sur les deux systèmes pseudo-binaires Ag S-As S et HgI -As S ont aussi été menées. Les différentes techniques utilisées ont notamment permis de montrer que des réactions d échanges se produisaient lors de la synthèse. Enfin, la dernière partie de cette thèse est entièrement consacrée à la caractérisation de nouveaux capteurs chimiques pour la détection des ions Hg + en solution. Différentes compositions sont testées afin de définir la sensibilité, la limite de détection et les coefficients de sélectivité en présence d ions interférents.Glasses of the pseudo-binary system Ag S-As S are well known to be good ionic conductors and the addition of HgI allows considering the glasses of the pseudo-ternary system HgI -Ag S-As S as ion-membrane dedicated to mercury sensing in aqueous solution. The limits of its vitreous domain were verified by X-ray diffraction. Changes in macroscopic properties of glasses, including density and characteristic temperatures (Tg, Tc et Tm) were systematically investigated. Conduction properties of HgI -Ag S-As S glasses were evaluated using the complex impedance spectroscopy and 108mAg tracer diffusion measurements. One of the most interesting results concerns the conductivity increase if Ag S is substituted by HgI . To understand the conduction mechanisms involved, structural studies were carried out by Raman spectroscopy, neutron scattering and high-energy X-ray diffraction. To understand the structure of these complex glasses, preliminary studies on the two pseudo-binary systems Ag S-As S and HgI -As S were also undertaken. These techniques have underlined exchange reactions that occur during the synthesis. The last part of this research work is entirely devoted to the characterization of new chemical sensors for the detection of Hg + ions in solution. Different compositions were tested to determine the sensitivity, detection limit and selectivity coefficients in the presence of interfering ions.DUNKERQUE-SCD-Bib.electronique (591839901) / SudocSudocFranceF
