Abstract :
Material dispersion measurements are reported on six characteristic lightguide glass compositions. The measurements were made on bulk specimens and cover the wavelength range from 0.8 to 1.5 ¿m. It is observed that in these silicate glasses the wavelength at which material dispersion is zero is in all cases greater than 1.2¿m.
