The optical characterization of thin films of Ge20Sn10Se70−xSbx (x = 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 at.%) amorphous C.G. system has been carried out by using transmission spectra.
Refractive index is found to be increasing with increase in Sb concentration. This can be attributed to the increase in polarisability of the atoms.
The decrease in extinction coefficient with the increase in wavelength implies that the absorption losses decreases and the specimen is transparent for higher wavelengths.
Increase in optical conductivity with energy is observed which is due to increase in refractive index and absorption coefficient.
Non-linear susceptibility and non-linear refractive index are found to be increasing with the increasing concentration of Sb which implies that the specimen is diffraction free and thus have practical applications in photonic technology.
