A glass consists of, in weight per cent: B 2 O 3 19-22 La 2 O 3 34-38 Al 2 O 3 2-5 ZrO 2 6-9 Nb 2 O 5 8-15 Ta 2 O 5 4-12 ThO 2 8-20 BaO 0-6 TiO 2 0-3. The glass, which has a refractive index of at least 1À81, may be used as the core glass in an optical fibre. A rod of the glass may be disposed in a tube of glass of lower refractive index and differing coefficient of thermal expansion and the assembly drawn at 750-800‹ C. to give fibres of diameter approximately 300 Á, the fibres then being bundled and redrawn to form a multifibre.
