Fluoroaluminates are well known glass formers. Although their glass forming ability is low, it can be increased by doping with phosphates. Structure and properties depend mainly on the fluoride to phosphate ratio. In this review a number of recent developments in the use of these classes for the fabrication of active laser and amplifier materials is discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
