Presently the most widely used technique for fabricating radial gradient index(GRIN) rod lens is ion exchange. The ability to control and alter the shape of the index profile is an important area of research for the fabrication of gradient index materials. It is observed that radial gradient index profile produced by exchanging Na + for Li + can been controlled and altered by introducing NaCl into NaNO 3 molten salt in this paper. Because of the higher polarizability of Cl - than that of NO - 2 ions in molten salt, hence the coulombic forces between Cl - and Li + ions are stronger than the forces between NO - 2 and Li + ions, which limit the activity of Li + at the interface between glass and molten salt. Furthermore the reaction balance of ion exchange between Na + and Li + shifts toward right, which could alter the constant of balance and improved ion exchange. So radial gradient index profile can been controlled and altered by introducing NaCl into NaNO 3 molten salt.
