Origin Of Bubbles In Fluoride Glass Preforms For Infrared Fibres

By using gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques, the compositions of bubbles down to 100 micrometres in diameter in preforms have been determined. Two types of bubble were characterised, one formed by gases coming out of solution when melts were cooled and the other arising from gases trapped during casting.
