3. Optical fibers
The general characteristics of optical fibers (multimode leap- or graded-index fibers and single-mode fibers) are described in
3.1 Fibrable compositions
Of the large number of fluoride-based glass compositions available in the literature, only a few offer sufficiently stable conditions for crystallization to be processed into optical fibers.
Today, fibers based on zirconium fluoride, gallium fluoride or aluminum fluoride are commercial...
