Fluoride glass
It is widely believed in the scientific community that satellite technology and optical fiber technology will be the two central technologies of the new century, while fluoride glass will play a unique role in optical fiber technology.
The appearance of fluoride fiber optic fiber has greatly reduced the prestige of quartz fiber.
Because in the long distance communication, especially in underwater communications, fluoride optical fiber because of its minimal loss, can be within the scope of the thousands of kilometers from all the relay station, there is no doubt that it is of great scientific and economic significance.
Fluoride glass, in addition to long distance communications, will also play an important role in medicine, defense and other fields.
For example, the thermometers made of it can not only accurately measure the heat, but also measure the low temperature well, which makes the commonly used quartz thermometers much inferior.
Made of fluoride glass breathing gas analyzer, can be used to the patients under anesthesia the concentration of the gas exhaled by the real-time analysis, in order to minimize risk of surgery.
What's more, fluoride glass can also be used to treat cancer: cancer cells are destroyed when the temperature of the cancer cells is slightly lower than the normal cells in the surrounding area.
So, just need to find a way, for example, using infrared transmitting of fluoride optical fibre medical apparatus and instruments, precise control of the surrounding cells injected into the internal energy, make its temperature slightly higher than the temperature of the cancer cells, can make effect for the treatment of cancer.
The birth of fluoride glass, like the discovery of a new world in the world of optical fiber technology, has attracted the attention of the international scientific community.
France has secured the title of "inventor of fluoride glass" and achieved early success in manufacturing.
