Abstract

Abstract Optical fibres in fluoride bearing glass is claimed in which the fluoride is ZrF4, BaF2, ThF4 and/or a rare earth fluoride. The glass may also contain fluorides of Ti, Nb, Ta, Mo or W to increase the relative concn. of ions which can effect polarisation of bonds. The m.pt. of these glasses are much lower than those traditionally used for making optical fibres. Transition metals can be safely used without detrimental effect on its properties, the glasses are stable in air at ambient temp. even when moist and have good transmission qualities.
