Abstract: Methods, apparatus and precursors for producing substantially water-free silica soot, preforms and glass. The methods and apparatus make substantially water-free fused silica preforms or glass by removing water as a reaction product, removing water from the atmosphere, removing water from the transport process, or combinations thereof. In a first embodiment, substantially water-free soot, preforms or glass are achieved by using a hydrogen-free fuel, such as carbon monoxide, in the deposition process. In another embodiment, a soot producing burner has parameters that enable operation on a substantially hydrogen-free fuel. End burners, which minimize water production, are also described. Such water-free methods are useful in depositing fluorine-doped soot because of the low water present and the efficiency in which fluorine is incorporated. In another embodiment, glassy barrier layer methods and apparatus are described for minimizing dopant migration, especially fluorine. Laser and induction methods and apparatus for forming the barrier layer are depicted. A chlorine, fluorine and silica precursor, such as chlorofluorosilane, may be utilized to form fluorinated soot. Other methods and apparatus are directed to combinations of conventional and substantially water-free processes. One embodiment is directed to combustion enhancing additives for addition to the substantially hydrogen-free fuels. The methods and apparatus in accordance with the invention are particularly useful for producing photomask substrates and optical fiber preforms.

Abstract: A burner manifold apparatus (10) for delivering reactants to a combustion site of a chemical vapor deposition process includes fluid inlets (32a, 32b), fluid outlets (49), and a plurality of fluid passages (50) extending therebetween. The fluid passages (50) converge toward each other from the fluid inlets to the fluid outlets. One embodiment includes a manifold base (12), a pressure plate (14), and a manifold burner mount (16) for mounting thereto a micromachined burner (58). The fluid passages (50) internal to the manifold base are configured to distribute symmetrically the fluid to the manifold burner mount. The fluid is then channeled through fluid passages in the manifold burner mount. The fluid passages converge, yet remain fluidly isolated from each other, and the fluid passages create a linear array for producing linear streams of fluid. Alternatively, the burner manifold apparatus may include a plurality of manifold elements in a stacked arrangement. In this alternative embodiment, the manifold elements are configured to produce a linear array of fluid passages at the top of the stack, increasing the number of fluid passages at each level of the stack closer to the top. As yet a further alternative, the burner manifold may be produced by extruding a particulate composite through a die to produce a manifold having fluid passages therein. This extruded manifold generally has a tapered section to which a burner may be mounted.

Abstract: A dispersion compensating single mode optical waveguide fiber designed to change the wavelength window of operation of a link from 1301 nm to 1550 nm. The dispersion compensating waveguide fiber is characterized by a core glass region refractive index profile comprised of at least three segments (2, 4, 6, 8). The segment (2) on the waveguide center has a positive relative refractive index. At least one segment (4, 8), spaced apart from the waveguide centerline has a negative relative refractive index.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for making fused silica glass by introducing a liquid, preferably halide-free, silicon-containing compound (32) directly into the flame (23) of a burner (24), thereby forming amorphous soot (25). This soot is deposited on a surface (26) and consolidated into a body of fused silica glass. The invention also relates to an apparatus which includes a burner (24) which generates a flame (23); an injector (31) for supplying a compound (32) to the flame (23) to convert the compound to soot and a surface (26) on which the soot is deposited.
