“…Considerations associated with the magnitude of Rayleigh scattering in glass played a central role in the earliest days of the development of optical fiber for long‐haul communications. It was well‐appreciated that the minimum loss of optical fiber was dependent on Rayleigh scattering and so compositions that reduced its magnitude were an active topic of study . However, as students of the history of optical fiber know, while multicomponent glasses possessing intrinsically low Rayleigh scattering (ie, lower Rayleigh scattering than silica) have been synthesized and studied, extrinsic impurities ultimately defined practical attenuation limits of optical fibers.…”

“…The wavelength region 1-2 mm [1-3] is very useful for optoelectronic devices particularly for optical communication because of the presence of minimum loss at 1.5 mm [4,5] and minimum dispersion at 1.3 mm [6] in optical fiber. The spectral region 2-4 mm is drawing considerable attention because of recent development of low loss fluoride glass fibers in this spectral region and l = 800 nm is useful for communication, entertainment and medical applications.…”

“…4 Some of these devices are used in optical fiber communication systems as emitters operating in the 1.1-1.6 m range, a spectral range in which the optical fibers exhibit the lowest material dispersion 5 and attenuation. 6 As GaInAsP is believed to have better surface properties than InP, it is also considered a better candidate for metal-insulator-semiconductor fieldeffect transistors ͑MISFETs͒. 7 The performance of these devices can be drastically limited because of a poor and reactive surface with a high surface state density.…”
