    Abstract: In an induction furnace for the synthesis of glasses, in particular fluorozi rconate glasses for optical fibres for telecommunications, the support device (6') f or the crucible (3) is associated with a pair of sleeves (7, 9) between which an annular ele ment (8) which constitutes the actual support element is inserted. The first sleeve ( 7) has such longitudinal dimensions that the crucible (3) is supported in the annular el ement (8) in such a way as to be spaced from the planar element (5'), and the second slee ve has such longitudinal dimensions that its top edge is at a level higher than tha t of the top edge of the crucible (3), to obtain a homogeneous temperature region extendi ng at least along the entire height of the crucible (3) (Fig.2).

    Abstract: An active single mode optical fiber has the core made of a rare earth doped non-oxide glass and the cladding made of an oxide glass. The glass of the core has a melting temperature lower than that of the glass of the cladding and lying within the range of the softening temperatures of the latter. In a preferred embodiment the core is made of a chalcogenide glass and the cladding is made of a lead silicate glass. To produce the fibre, a preform, obtained by introducing an element made of the non-oxide glass into the hole (2) of a capillary tube (1) made of the oxide glass, is brought to a temperature lying within the range of softening temperatures of the oxide glass and not lower than the melting temperature of the non-oxide glass, and is drawn. The capillary tube (1), during the drawing process, serves as a container for the molten glass of the core.

    Abstract: Fluoride glass optical fibres are fabricated by minimizing the number of high-temperature operations. A tube comprising an external layer of a first fluoride glass of composition suitable to form the cladding of the fibre and an internal layer of a second fluoride glass of composition suitable to form the core of the fibre is prepared from a melt by a conventional rotational casting technique. Then, the internal layer is thinned by means of chemical etching at ambient temperature until the attainment of a ratio between the volumes of the two layers that corresponds to the ratio between the core and cladding diameters required for a single mode fibre, and the resulting tube is drawn.
