Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A fluoride glass which is transparent in the infrared spectrum, said glass being obtained from the ternary combination of three constituents A, B and C, each of which constituents is a fluoride, the vitreous composition being defined by the composition indices x for A, y for B and z for C, in moles per unit mass, with x + y + z = 1, in which A is selected from the group consisting of ZrF 4 and HfF 4 , B is BaF 2 and C is selected from the group consisting of ThF 4 and UF 4 and in which x is within the range of 0.52-0.63, y is within the range 0.27-0.38 and z is within the range 0.02-0.15.
