“…In the literature, these surface defects in fluoride glasses are commonly attributed to crystallisation during the preform and fibre fabrication processes. [6][7][8][9] Here we show that a compositional change at the surface of the glass during preform fabrication is also a contributing factor to the poor surface quality observed on optical fibres fabricated from fluoride glasses.…”

“…This has been shown previously to cause fragility and high loss in fluoride and fluoroindate optical fibres. 8,16 Treated preforms which no longer have this surface layer show reduced corrugations on the neck-down region. Fibre loss and strength are both improved, which is attributed to a lower concentration of surface defects for the fibres.…”

“…Another unique property of fluoride glasses is their extremely broad transmission window from the UV (∼300 nm) to the MIR (4-6 μm for ∼1-m-long fiber) [64,167,201,202]; see Fig. 10.…”

“…Preliminary evaluation of fiber strength via a measurement of the bend radius (the radius at which the fiber breaks [49]) has yielded values of 21.5 ± 8.7 mm and 16.3 ± 5.9 mm for the TZNL and GPL5 bare fibers, respectively. The smaller bend radius for the germanate fiber indicates higher fiber strength.…”
