Abstract

Material-dispersion measurements are reported on fluoride glass for infra-red optical fibres. Bulk glasses prepared by the conventional casting method were measured in the 0.4–4.3 μm wavelength range. Observed zero-material-dispersion wavelengths were 1.62 μm for BaF₂-GdF₃-ZrF₄ glass and 1.48 μm for BaF₂-CaF₂-YF₃-AlF₃ glass.
