Micro-Raman spectroscopy has been successfully used to identify crystalline inclusions in bulk fluoride glasses and optical fibers. The crystalline phases NaF.(2ZrF4.BaF2) and NaF.(HfF4.ZrF4.BaF2) were identified in ZBLAN and HZBLAN glasses, respectively. Also, LaF3 micro-crystallite inclusions were unambiguously identified in the core of a particular optical fiber.
