To secure the special technological properties of phosphate laser glasses, a series of preparation techniques, including a hermetic platinum melting system with a special stirrer, removal of water from the glass melt, and the forming process have been developed to produce high quality glass blanks of large dimensions for building high-power laser systems. The results are given in this paper.
