New zirconium free multicomponent fluoride glasses

Systematic investigations of indium based heavy metal fluoride glasses have led to the discovery of a fluoride composition with a low devitrification rate. The glass BIZYbT with the composition 30 BaF 2−30 InF 3−20 ZnF 2−10 YbF 3−10 ThF 4 is characterized by a difference Tc−Tg = 123° C and an I.R. m...

Zusammenfassung:Systematic investigations of indium based heavy metal fluoride glasses have led to the discovery of a fluoride composition with a low devitrification rate. The glass BIZYbT with the composition 30 BaF 2−30 InF 3−20 ZnF 2−10 YbF 3−10 ThF 4 is characterized by a difference Tc−Tg = 123° C and an I.R. multiphonon edge lying in the 8 μm region, about 1 μm longer than for the fluorozirconate. Investigations of the T.T.T. curve and various optical properties indicate that this composition is a good candidate for I.R. fluoride fibers of wide transmission range.
