A laboratory furnace to melt fluoride glasses under controlled atmosphere conditions with stirring has been designed. In addition, initial fluorophosphate glass compositions have been selected, melted, and evaluated. Glass quality of many of these melts has been encouraging. The fluorophosphate glass with the best properties found to date has an n/sub D/ of 1.43 and an Abbe value of about 90.
