Popis: New stable fluoride glasses have been obtained in the ThF4-AlF3-YF3-BaF2 quaternary system. The vitreous areas are described in the ThF4-(Al0.5Y0.5)F3-BaF2 system and in the four basic ternary diagrams. For a standard glass with molar composition 22.5 % ThF4, 28.75 % AlF3, 28.75 % YF3, 20 % BaF2, the characteristic temperatures are 446° C for TG and 710° C for the fusion. The refractive index nD is 1.489 and the density is 5.1. The optical transmission range lies from 330 nm to 7000 nm. These glasses are fluorine and water resistant. They are potential ultralow-loss optical fiber materials. Glass formation in this system is discussed by reference to the ionic analysis of the vitreous state.
