Stable Compositions for Fluoride Glasses

Abstract

This research contract is part of the NRL effort to produce ultralow-loss long-length fluoride glass fibers. There are two distinct objectives: 1. Composition search to explore new fluorozirconate glass compositions more stable than the current composition in use at NRL. 2. Process modeling to determine the relative influences of various material and process parameters on the crystals in preforms and fibers.
