Abstract
A thin plate of TeO 2 glass of 5.0 × 4.0 × 0.25 mm 3 size, which was large enough for various optical measurements, was obtained by a rapid quenching method. The linear refractive index was measured as a function of wavelength from 486.1 to 1000 nm. The refractive index at 486.1 nm was as high as 2.239. The optical energy band gap was estimated as 3.37 eV from the optical absorption spectrum. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility, χ (3) , was determined by the third-harmonic generation (THG) method. The χ (3) value was as high as 1.4 × 10 −12 esu, about 50 times as large as that of SiO 2 glass. The results are discussed based on Lines' model in which an influence of cationic empty d-orbitals on the nonlinear properties was taken into account
