Material dispersion measurements are reported on six characteristic lightguide glass compositions. The measurements were made on bulk specimens and cover the wavelength range from 0.8 to 1.5 μm. It is observed that in these silicate glasses the wavelength at which material dispersion is zero is in all cases greater than 1.2μm.

Inspec keywords: optical glass; optical dispersion; optical fibres

Other keywords: 0.8 to 1.5 microns; material dispersion; lightguide glasses; silicate glasses

Subjects: Fibre optics and fibre waveguides; Optical materials; Optical glass; Optical waveguides and couplers; Fibre optics
