We report the preparation of a high-purity optical-quality four-component glass of composition 68TeO{sub 2} - 22WO{sub 3} - 8La{sub 2}O{sub 3} - 2Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3}, containing (2.7{+-}0.5)x10{sup -5} mol % OH groups. Its refractive index has been determined in the range 0.9 - 5.45 {mu}m using interference refractometry. The data are used to assess the dispersion and guidance characteristics of microstructured optical fibres potentially attractive for supercontinuum generation in the range 1 - 5 {mu}m (optical fibres)
