Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>We examined the relationship between optical properties and structures of 5s<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>-type cations such as Sn<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>- and Sb<jats:sup>3+</jats:sup>-containing borate and borosilicate glass. Linear evolutions were observed for the compositional dependences of density, glass transition temperature, refractive index, and photoelastic constant in visible transparent oxide glasses. The structural information was provided using vibrational spectroscopy to elucidate polyhedral units of the borate and borosilicate systems. A weak ligand field around a Sn<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup> close to tetrahedral borate unit, which is supported by applying density functional theory calculation, might lead to a blueshift of optical bandgap keeping small photoelastic constant and high refractive index.</jats:p>
