What is Germanium Dioxide used for?

For the refractive index and optical dispersion properties, Germanium dioxide is useful as an optical material for wide-angle lenses and in optical microscope objective lenses.

Mixture of silicon dioxide and germanium dioxide  is used as an optical material for optical fibers and optical waveguides.

Germanium dioxide is also used as a catalyst in production of polyethylene terephthalate resin, and for production of other germanium compounds. It is used as a feedstock for production of some phosphors and semiconductor materials.
