Abstract: Nd-glass fibers have been prepared at lower tempetature by sol-gel method.The in-fluences of Nd concentration, temperature and time of dehydration on the state of solution,suitable for fiber drawing have been studied.The fiber obtained by this method showedthree peaks in TG-DTA thermalgramm, corresponding to the lost of water and ignitionof organic components, respectively.The fiber is non-crystalline and has a smooth surfacewith diameter of about 100μm.

Key words: sol-gel method, Nd glass, fiber, preparation
