Abstract

Tellurite glass materials present greater potential applications for solar energy technology and laser devices, it is, because these materials present very efficient optical and physical properties. Tellurite glasses doped with PbTe, CdTe, and rare-earth materials are considerable, due to their practical importance in technological applications such as integrated optics, optoelectronics, lasers, broadband optical amplifiers, and solar energy conversion. The challenges in the solar energy technology research are to increase the conversion efficiency compared with that of silicon solar cells and consequently to make them more cost-effective for commercial applications. Tellurite glasses doped with rare earths were demonstrated as very broadband optical amplifiers and laser devices. In this chapter we are involved with study of optical and physical properties of these tellurite glass materials.
