In this research, the bulk samples of xMoO3-(60-x)V2O5-40TeO2 compositions with different molar contents of
0≤x≤60 were prepared by rapid melt-quenching method. To investigate the optical properties, the optical
absorption spectra of samples were taken within the wavelength range of 190-1100 nm. Then, derivation of
absorption spectrum fitting method (shortened as DASF) was used as precise approach to determine the band gap
and the exact nature of charge carriers transition. Results show that the minimum optical band gap is equal to
2.38 eV for x = 10. In addition, some optical quantities such as the width of the band tails (Urbach energy),
refractive index (n) and dielectric constant (ε) were obtained for the under studied glasses. Results imply that the
TVM10 sample is the optimal sample for optical applications such as optical fibres.
