The field of heavy metal halide glasses (namely fluorides) is only
ten years old now, but it has developed rapidly since the discovery
of fluorozirconate glasses by the group at the University of Rennes
(France). The main reason for this was the early demonstration of
the enormous potential of such glasses for use as long-haul
ultra-low loss middle infrared waveguide materials, aided in part
by the scientific interest held by their unusual short range
structures. As a result, significant research efforts were
initiated in the academic, government and industrial sectors in
Europe, the United States and Japan. However, the search for a
finished product has per haps led to a partial overlooking of some
of the more funda mental aspects by the scientific community. After
the initial excitement, the workers in this field are perhaps at a
crossroads where attenuations lower than 1 dB/Km need to be
obtained for long lengths of fiber of good chemical and thermal
stability, in order to guarantee continual R&D sUE ports.
Therefore, there is a strong need for a critical asses sment of the
potential of halide glasses for infrared fiber optics and the
formulation of recommendations for future re search in this area
and other related fields."
