Popis: Degenerate two-photon absorption (TPA) spectra in binary xBi 2 O 3 :(100 x)B 2 O 3 (x 60. 70 and 80 mol%) glasses are measured by an open-aperture Z-scan technique. The degenerate TPA coefficient, β, obtained at a fixed photon energy increases with Bi 2 O 3 content (e.g., 12.8 ± 2.1 and 17.7 ± 3.0 cm/GW at 2.34 eV for x = 60 and x = 80, respectively), while β becomes larger at higher photon energy (e.g., 3.2 ± 0.5 cm/GW at 1.81 eV and 15.1 ± 2.5 cm/GW at 2.51 eV for = 70). The degenerate TPA spectra are reproduced by using a simple formula based on a two-parabolic band model for the electronic structure of the glasses containing heavy metal oxides.
