This paper presents a thorough analysis on the temperature dependence of the thermo-optic coefficient, dn/dT, of four bulk annealed pure-silica glass samples (type I—natural quartz: Infrasil 301; type II—quartz crystal powder: Heraeus Homosil; type III—synthetic vitreous silica: Corning 7980 and Suprasil 3001) from room temperature down to 0 K. The three/four term temperature dependent Sellmeier equations and respective coefficients were considered, which results from fitting to the raw data obtained by Leviton et al. The thermo-optic coefficient was extrapolated down to zero Kelvin. We have obtained dn/dT values ranging from 8.16 × 10sup.−6 up to 8.53 × 10sup.−6 for the four samples at 293 K and for a wavelength of 1.55 μm. For the Corning 7980 SiOsub.2 glass, the thermo-optic coefficient decreases monotonically, from 8.74 × 10sup.−6 down to 8.16 × 10sup.−6, from the visible range up to the third telecommunication window, being almost constant above 1.3 μm. The Ghosh’s model was revisited, and it was concluded that the thermal expansion coefficient only accounts for about 2% of the thermo-optic coefficient, and we have obtained an expression for the temperature behavior of the silica excitonic bandgap. Wemple’s model was also analyzed where we have also considered the material dispersion in order to determine the coefficients and respective temperature dependences. The limitations of this model were also discussed.
