Abstract
The physical properties and characteristics of fluoride glasses suitab le for the realization of optical fibers and planar waveguides are giv en. The planar waveguide technology, novel for this type of material, is presented with more details. Active properties of rare-earth doped fluoride fibers are presented, especially for up-conversion visible fi ber lasers, infrared fiber lasers, and fiber lasers and amplifiers for telecommunication.
