Abstract: A glass body having a graded (substantially Gaussian) index profile is produced by a process that comprises providing a doped porous body (e.g., having a uniform dopant distribution), heat treating the porous body in a halogen-containing atmosphere, and consolidating the porous body into the glass body. The heat treatment removes a predetermined portion of the dopant from the porous body, such that the radial dopant profile in the glass body differs from the initial profile in the porous body, and such that the Gaussian index profile results. Exemplarily, the porous body is a uniformly germania-doped, VAD-produced, high-silica rod having radially decreasing density, and the heat treatment comprises an 8-hour densification soak at 1300.degree. C. in 20% Cl, 80% He. In a preferred embodiment, silica overcladding is deposited on a graded index core rod produced according to the invention, and fiber drawn from the resulting composite glass body.

Abstract: Glass preforms for optical fibers or the like having refractive index profiles which vary in stepped or graded fashion across the preform, are made from porous glass preforms by introducing a first dopant into the porous preform during manufacture, partially sintering the preform to selectively modify the internal surface area thereof, introducing a second vapor-infusible dopant into the selectively sintered preform to cause selective doping of the porous glass, and then consolidating the resulting doped preform to clear glass.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new glass material applicable in those situations where thermal and/or mechanical shock would limit the use of other glass materials presently available. Dopants are deposited into the interconnected pores of a porous glass in a non-uniform manner such that upon consolidation and cooling the final article has its surface under compressive stress. Dopants may also be added to control color and other appearance features. A porous silicate glass is washed with sodium hydroxide followed by immersing the washed glass in a liquid solution of a dopant in a liquid solvent therefor to stuff the pores of the washed glass with the solution. Thereafter, the solvent is removed from the pores and the pores are collapsed by a heating step.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical fiber preform includes: adding an alkali metal element or an alkaline earth metal element to an inner surface of a glass pipe made of silica-based glass; reducing a diameter of the glass pipe after the adding; etching an inner surface of a continuous section of the glass pipe in a longitudinal direction after the reducing; and collapsing the glass pipe after the etching. At least one of the adding, the reducing, the etching, and the collapsing includes performing a local etching on an inner surface of a section of the glass pipe that is shorter than the continuous section.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making rare earth (RE) doped optical fiber using BaO as co-dopant instead of Al or P commonly used for incorporation of the RE in silica glass by MCVD and solution doping technique. The method comprises deposition of particulate layer of GeO2 doped SiO2 with or without small P2O5 for formation of the core and solution doping by soaking the porous soot layer into an aqueous solution of RE and Ba containing salt. This is followed by dehydration and sintering of the soaked deposit, collapsing at a high temperature to produce the preform and drawing of fibers of appropriate dimension. The use of Ba-oxide enables to eliminate unwanted core-clad interface defect which is common in case of Al doped fibers. The fibers also show good RE uniformity, relatively low optical loss in the 0.6-1.6 μm wavelength region and good optical properties suitable for their application in amplifiers, fiber lasers and sensor devices.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供一种使用BaO作为共掺杂剂代替通常用于通过MCVD和溶液掺杂技术将石英玻璃中的RE掺入的Al或P的掺杂稀土（RE）掺杂光纤的方法。 该方法包括沉积具有或不具有小的P 2 O 5的GeO 2掺杂的SiO 2的颗粒层以形成芯并通过将多孔烟灰层浸入含RE和Ba的盐的水溶液中来进行溶液掺杂。 随后将浸渍的沉积物脱水和烧结，在高温下塌陷以制备预制件并拉出适当尺寸的纤维。 使用Ba氧化物能够消除在Al掺杂光纤的情况下常见的不需要的芯包层界面缺陷。 光纤还具有良好的均匀性，0.6-1.6μm波长区域的光损耗相对较低，适用于放大器，光纤激光器和传感器设备的良好的光学性能。
