The density, molar volume and refractive index increase when bismuth ions Bi3+ increase, this is due to the increased polarization of the ions Bi3+ and the enhanced formation of non-bridging oxygen (NBO). The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results show the bonding of the glass sample and the optical band gap, Eopt decreases while the refractive index increases when the ion Bi3+ content increases. Keywords: tellurite glass; optical band gap; optical properties 1. Introduction Tellurite glass is a good material used in lasers and nonlinear applications, photonic applications and communication applications [1]. Tellurite glass is often used because it is stable at room temperature, has good thermal, optical and electric properties [2,3]. This glass has a low photon energy, a high linear and non-linear refractive index, and it also can be used in photorefractive materials, non- linear devices, up-conversion lasers and optical amplifiers [4–6]. Metal oxides such as Bi2O3, Sb2O3, MoO3 and Nb2O5 have been added to the tellurite glass system in order to enhance the optical behavior [7,8]. Many studies on tertiary tellurite ba
