3. Optical fibers

The general characteristics of optical fibers (multimode leap- or graded-index fibers and single-mode fibers) are described in [AF 2 090] .

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...
