| Popis: | The thermal expansion (α) and the thermo-optic (dn/dT) coefficients of a phosphate glass dubbed as PANK were simultaneously measured using a single arm double interferometer from 100 to 400 K of the temperature range. An athermal behavior of the optical path difference in a two-beam interferometer was found around 200 K. This result is in agreement with a similar observation carried out applying the Thermal Lens spectrometry (TLS) of Nd-doped PANK glass at ∼180 K. The main difference between these temperature values is ascribed to the sample surface curvature induced by the laser beam in thermal lens measurements. The athermal behavior shows that this glass has the potential for laser applications as an ion host at low temperature, and small changes in the glass composition should be explored to bring this property to room temperature. |
