Abstract
A range of copper phosphate glasses containing praseodymium was prepared and the optical absorption edges and infrared optical absorption spectra were measured. The optical energy gap of copper phosphate glass doped with praseodymium is slightly higher than the corresponding composition of the base glass. Heat treatment at 400 and 800° C caused some changes in the infrared absorption bands which are related to the characteristics of the Pr6O111 component.
