Abstract
The relationships between optical basicity, molar volume and third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility have been analyzed for binary borate glasses. The qualitative relationships between optical basicity and molar volume are discussed. The quantitative relationships between optical basicity and third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility are established. Our results suggest that the optical basicity parameters from 0.5 to 0.6 consist of the critical range, which separates glasses into two groups, and each group presents specific correlations between optical basicity, molar volume and third-order nonlinear
optical susceptibility..
