  • Abstract
    We report on the fabrication of novel germanate glasses and fibres. We have characterised the glasses in terms of their thermal properties, Raman spectra and refractive indices (both linear and nonlinear) and present them as viable alternatives to tellurite glasses for soft glass optical fiber applications.
