The above-mentioned preparation method who contains the Fluorozirconate glass of plumbous oxide is characterized in that this method comprises the following steps:
1. select the molar percentage of above-mentioned glass, and the corresponding raw material of weighing;
2. with described ZrF

3+ AlF
3+ YF
3The powder of pure fluorochemical composition is put into platinum crucible after fully mixing, and crucible is put into stove and be warming up to 850 ℃ to keep 30 minutes, fully takes out after the fusing, casts directly on the template, makes the fluozirconate grog;
3. again the fluozirconate grog is put into platinum crucible, with crucible put into 830 ℃ in stove with the fusing of glass grog after, add the PbO of corresponding proportioning, stir made in 30 minutes mix after, take out and be poured in the preheating template;
4. then glass was annealed 2 hours down at 350 ℃, furnace cooling can obtain containing the Fluorozirconate glass sample of plumbous oxide to room temperature then.
Be usually used in weighing the index △ T(△ T=T that component becomes the glass properties quality

pBe the crystallization peak temperature.△ T and the more big glass that more is conducive to into of S value are fit to the appearance of crystal grain in preparation large-size glass and the minimizing glassy product preparation process.
Technique effect of the present invention is as follows:
Gained glass of the present invention shows after tested: the S value of resulting glass is compared former pure fluorochemical and is significantly improved, and has kept the good visible infrared property of former fluoride glass simultaneously substantially.
Cutoff wavelength is greater than 6 μ m, and the glass phonon energy is low, becomes glass properties good, is fit to preparation infrared laser optical fiber and is used as fiber amplifier host glass and other optical materials.
