GeSbOFN

GeSbOFN is a glass-ceramic material based on the germanium–antimony–oxygen–fluorine–nitrogen system, representing an advanced oxide-fluoride compound typically developed for photonic and optical applications. This material family is primarily explored in research and specialized optics contexts, where the combination of germanium and antimony oxides with fluorine and nitrogen doping creates potential for mid-infrared transmission, nonlinear optical properties, or enhanced glass-forming ability. Engineers consider such compositions when conventional silicate glasses are inadequate—particularly for infrared sensors, fiber optics, or waveguide applications requiring extended spectral transparency or controlled refractive index.
