Abstract :
An overview is given of dispersion measurements on fluoride glasses and fibers, and the dispersion compensating capability of fluoride fibers is discussed. The temperature dependence of refractive-index dispersion and material dispersion of fluoride glasses is measured. These measurements indicate that fluoride glasses can compensate for temperature-dependent changes of refractive indices and material dispersion in silica glasses and fibers
