Abstract

By adding La$_2$O$_3$ to optical multicomponent glass composition, after making mother glass and core fiber that enable to enlarge the infrared transmittance region, then surveyed the optical properties. Through thermal analysis of the glass abstained by melt-quenching after selecting stable basic composition on devitrification and replace SiO$_2$ by 4-12wt% La$_2$O$_3$. As La$_2$O$_3$ increases up to l2wt% transition temperature, refractive index, density, deformation temperature increased, whereas thermal expansion coefficient decreased. As a result of inspectig transmittance in UV/VIS/IR region, visable region indicated the decrease of transmittance by increasing the La$_2$O$_3$ and transmittance region was enlarged by increasing the La$_2$O$_3$ in IR region. Also, fabricate core fiber at 820$^{\circ}C$ and severy the optical loss we could fact that La$_2$O$_3$ composition added 12wt% showed the minimum optical loss.
