Abstract
The glass of $BaO-GeO_2-La_2O_3-ZnO$ system with a transmittance of more than 75 % at mid-wave infrared (MWIR) region in the range of $3{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$ is manufactured and its property is evaluated. After selecting construction that can melt glass through flow button test, $BaO-GeO_2-La_2O_3$ system where 10 mol%, 20 mol% of ZnO were added respectively were melted at $1350^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour and $BaO-GeO_2-La_2O_3$ system of glass was manufactured. Among them, with 20 mol% of ZnO, 16 mol% BaO-56 mol% $GeO_2-8mol%$ $La_2O_3-16mol%$ ZnO system of glass was found to has less than $660^{\circ}C$ of glass transition temperature, more than 1.70 of refractive index, and more than 530 of knoop hardness. Therefore, it is concluded that glass of $BaO-GeO_2-La_2O_3-ZnO$ system of glass with 20 mol% ZnO has good melting conditions at low temperatures and excellent optical properties, thus, can be utilized for special optical materials field.
