    摘要: A preferred embodiment of a sulfide glass with improved mechanical and optical properties such as extended transmission in the infrared region of radiation having wavelengths of up to about 15 microns, Tg in the range of 370.degree.-550.degree. C., and thermal stability of 100.degree.-300.degree. C., containing, on mol basis, 36-72% germanium sulfide, 2-38% gallium sulfide and/or indium sulfide, and 26-62% of at least one modifier containing an alkaline earth sulfide. A process for making glass of improved mechanical and optical properties comprises the steps of mixing glass components, including an alkaline earth modifier in elemental or sulfide form; melting the glass components in an inert vessel contained in a sealed ampoule to form a molten mixture; cooling the molten glass mixture to a solid state; annealing the solid glass; and cooling the annealed glass to about room temperature. The glass components can be in elemental form or in sulfide form, and if in elemental form, then sufficient amount of sulfur is added to form sulfides of the glass components.

    摘要: A method for producing internally coated glass tube preforms for drawing er optic conductors. The internally coated glass tubes are halogen coated, preferably coated with metal fluorides, so that an optical fiber formed will have a halogen core which conveys light having a wavelength of about 2 to 4 microns, which is in the infrared region, with low attenuation. With one aspect of the method, a carrier gas and a halogenated alkoxide are introduced into a glass tube which has an inner wall and which is surrounded by a resonator for producing a plasma from the halogenated alkoxide in the tube. With another aspect of the method, a blend of a carrier gas, an organometallic compound, and a halogen-containing gas are introduced into a glass tube which has an inner wall and which is surrounded by a resonator for producing a plasma. In both cases, the tube is moved relative to the resonator to form a plasma zone within the tube such that a halide coating is formed on the inner wall of the tube. The plasma generation and inner glass wall coating take place at a relatively low pressure and at a relatively low temperature.
