Abstract

We report linear and non-linear optical properties of a new quaternary chalcogenide glass series Ge19-ySe63.8Sb17.2Tey (y = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10). In linear optical properties; refractive index, extinction coefficient and the Tauc gap are reported and their variation with Te content has been discussed. In non-linear properties; third order nonlinear susceptibility and non-linear refractive index has been discussed. The variation of non-linear refractive index has also been reported with normalized photon energy. A correlation between the Tauc gap and nonlinear refractive index has been discussed. Results indicate that these materials may find applications in modern optical devices.
