  • Abstract
    We describe a highly stable glass family based on the combination of TeO2 with heavy metal-oxides of Nb, Ti, W. We show that these glasses have large Raman gain, a broad Raman spectrum, and large negative dispersion. They are, thus, potentially useful in a variety of specialty fiber applications, such as discrete Raman amplification.
