FIELD: technological processes.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to producing fluoride glass with an extended range of optical transmission. Technical result is producing optically transparent glass without oxygen-containing impurities with expanded range transmission of 0.21 to 7.5 mcm for fluorzirconate glass and 0.225 to 8 mcm for fluorhafnate glass. Charge of a mixture of metal fluorides, selected from: metal fluoride of IV group; BaF2; LaF3; AlF3; NAF, is melted in dry argon atmosphere at temperature of 850÷950 °C for 30÷60 minutes and then cooled. Before melting charge is processed with fluorinating agent - xenon difluoride at temperatures of its reaction with oxygen-containing impurities, followed by removal of gaseous reaction products in vacuum. ZrF4, or HfF4 are used as metal fluoride of IV group. Processing of the charge by fluorinating agent is performed at temperature of 300÷350 °C for 3÷5 hours. Removal of gaseous reaction products in vacuum is performed at temperature of 100÷150 °C. Produced glass is further annealed at 250÷270 °C for 2÷3 hours to prevent cracking.
EFFECT: producing optically transparent glass without oxygen-containing impurities.
