The data were measured internally with instrumentations belonging to the tem in Bordeaux.

UV-Visible-NIR transmission spectra of the glass were recorded in the 0.2 µm - 3.3 µm range using an Agilent Cary 5000 UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer. Transmission in the Mid-IR was collected using a Bruker FTIR

Optical losses measurements of single-index fibers were carried out using the cutback method on several meters-long samples.

The Raman gain cross-section was calculated from spontaneous scattering spectra measured in in VV (vertical polarization for the excitation and the analysis) configuration using a micro-Raman setup.

A spectroscopic phase modulated ellipsometric measurement had thus been performed with an UVISEL apparatus (HORIBA Jobin-Yvon) to determine the refractive index n of the GGBLaY glass, after a fine calibration of the ellipsometre with the reference Silica glass over the spectral range between 0.260 µm to 2 µm thanks to the comparison to literature.
