Abstract: We report the preparation of a high-purity optical-quality four-component glass of composition 68TeO₂ — 22WO₃ — 8La₂O₃ — 2Bi₂O₃, containing (2.7±0.5)×10^-5 mol % OH groups. Its refractive index has been determined in the range 0.9 — 5.45 μm using interference refractometry. The data are used to assess the dispersion and guidance characteristics of microstructured optical fibres potentially attractive for supercontinuum generation in the range 1 — 5 μm
