ResumoAn extensive investigation of the soda aluminosilicate glass systems has been conducted to determine the suitability of this material for low loss fiber optical waveguides. Based on measurements of scattering loss energy gap, and glass transition temperature we conclude that certain compositions of soda aluminosilicate glass have substantially lower measured scattering loss and less estimated absorption loss than pure fused silica, the best of the present waveguide materials. Scattering losses less than 14 that of pure fused silica have been observed.
