The invention belongs to the technical field of
infrared glass, and particularly relates to high-refractive-index
infrared glass as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and the
infrared glass comprises the following components in percentage by mole: 16-28% of Ge, 58-64% of Te, 7-14% of Se, 2-10% of As and 0-2% of Sb. The preparation method comprises the three steps of
raw material deoxidization,
raw material mixing and heating
smelting. By optimizing the components and the proportion of the glass and further performing secondary
deoxidization on the raw materials, the
refractive index of the infrared glass is improved, and the absorption peak of the infrared glass in a
far infrared region is reduced, so that the infrared glass can be applied to
infrared thermal imaging equipment, and the sensitivity of the equipment is improved.
