“…When NaF was added to fill the voids in the crystal structure of a ZrF 4 -BaF 2 phase, the mixture of ZrF 4 -BaF 2 -NaF-NdF 3 system was unexpectedly a glass. One year later, the first description of "fluorozirconate" glasses was produced with additional vitreous compositions [29]. ZBLAN glass, referring to a mixture of ZrF 4 -BaF 2 -LaF 3 -AlF 3 -NaF with a molar composition of 53% ZrF 4 , 20% BaF 2 , 4% LaF 3 , 3% AlF 3 , and 20% NaF, considered as the most stable glass practical for optical fiber applications, was reported first by Ohsawa et al of the Furukawa Electic Co. in 1981 [30].…”

-NaF), considered as the most stable heavy metal fluoride glass and the excellent host for rare-earth ions, has been extensively used for efficient and compact ultraviolet, visible, and infrared fiber lasers due to its low intrinsic loss, wide transparency window, and small phonon energy. In this paper, the historical progress and the properties of fluoride glasses and the fabrication of ZBLAN fibers are briefly described. Advances of infrared, upconversion, and supercontinuum ZBLAN fiber lasers are addressed in detail. Finally, constraints on the power scaling of ZBLAN fiber lasers are analyzed and discussed. ZBLAN fiber lasers are showing promise of generating high-power emissions covering from ultraviolet to mid-infrared considering the recent advances in newly designed optical fibers, beam-shaped high-power pump diodes, beam combining techniques, and heatdissipating technology.

“…Entretanto, vários anos se passaram até que 1974 os irmãos Marcel e Michel Poulain da Universidade de Rennes na França descobriram outra família de vidros de fluoretos chamada de vidros fluorozirconatos. 46 Os vidros descobertos pelos irmãos Poulain e mais tarde chamados de vidros fluoretos de metais pesados revolucionaram a química dos vidros na década de 70, e essa nova classe de composições vítreas originou uma gama enorme de possibilidades de aplicações tecnológicas, incluindo a fabricação de fibras ópticas, lasers e amplificadores ópticos quando essas matrizes eram dopadas com elementos terras raras adequados. 47 Dentre as composições químicas mais estudadas de vidros fluoretos podemos destacar aquela chamada pelo acrônimo de "ZBLAN" (ZrF 4 -BaF 2 -LaF 3 -AlF 3 -NaF) e suas variações.…”

Glassy Materials and Light: Part 1

publicado na web em 05/02/2016 GLASSY MATERIALS AND LIGHT: PART 1. 2015 is the Year of Light, according to UNESCO. Chemistry has a close relationship with light and one of the materials that allows such synergy is glass. Depending on the chemical composition of the glass, it is possible to achieve technological applications for the whole range of wavelengths extending from the region of the microwave to gamma rays. This diversity of applications opens a large range of research where chemistry, as a central science, overlaps the fields of physics, engineering, medicine, etc., generating a huge amount of knowledge and technological products used for humanity. This review article aimed at discussing some families of glasses, illustrating some applications. Due to the extension of the theme, and all points raised, we thought it would be good to divide the article into two parts. In the first part we focus on the properties of heavy metal oxide glasses, fluoride glasses and chalcogenide glasses. In the second part we emphasize the properties of glassy thin films prepared by sol-gel methodology and some applications, of both glasses as the films in photonics, and more attention was given to the nonlinear properties and uses of photonic fibers.

“…This can be simply explained by Hooke's law using the twomass spring model [6]. In general, non-silica glasses, such as tellurite (TeO 2 based), fluoride (typically ZrF 4 or AlF 3 based), and chalcogenide (chalcogen S, Se, Te based) glasses [7][8][9], possess excellent optical transparence in the wavelength range of 0.5-5μm, 0.4-6μm and 1-16μm respectively and thus are attractive candidates as fiber materials for mid-infrared applications over the conventional silica. The latter shows inferior transparence beyond 2μm, due to (i) the strong fundamental vibration hydroxyl absorption at 2.7µm and (ii) high loss (>50dB/m) starting from 3µm due to the tail of the multi-phonon absorption of Si-O network.…”

Abstract:We report the fabrication of new dehydrated halo-tellurite glass fibers with low OH content (1ppm in weight) and low OH-induced attenuation of 10dB/m in 3-4 µm region. It shows halo-tellurite glass fibers a promising candidate for nonlinear applications in 2-5µm region. References and links 1.A. Schliesser, N. Picqué, and T. W.
