We have characterized these 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 applications requiring highly nonlinear optical fibers. © 2013 Optical Society of America.1488-1503engGlasses InNon-linear fiberNon-linear optical fibersTellurite glassNonlinear opticsOptical fiber fabricationOptical fibersRefractive indexTellurium compoundsGlassLead-germanate glasses and fibers: A practical alternative to tellurite for nonlinear fiber applicationsArtigo10.1364/OME.3.001488WOS:000323944700030Acesso aberto2-s2.0-848841951372-s2.0-84884195137.pdf
