Application

Tellurium dioxide is a heavy, white, crystalline powder valued for its ability to dissolve in concentrated acids and alkalies, and it exhibits slight solubility in dilute acids and water. Its unique optical properties make it an essential component in devices that convert light into sound (acousto-optic devices) and in the production of specialized glasses with high refractive indices that have the ability to transmit light into the mid-infrared region. Additionally, tellurium dioxide plays a crucial role in the development of optical waveguides and the amplification of optical fiber signals, making it indispensable in advanced optical technologies.
