    Abstract: An optical fiber includes a core region of silica glass doped with an alkali metal oxide. A depressed-index cladding region surrounds the core region and comprises silica glass doped with a first concentration of fluorine. The depressed-index cladding region has a minimum relative refractive index Δ3min in a range from −0.80% to −0.30%. An outer cladding region comprises silica glass doped with a second, lesser concentration. The outer cladding region has a relative refractive index Δ4, where Δ4−Δ3min>0.05%. The optical fiber has a time-to-peak hydrogen aging value at 23° C. of less than 100 hours upon exposure to an atmosphere having a total pressure of 1 atm and containing a partial pressure of 0.01 atm H2 and a partial pressure of 0.99 atm N2. The optical fiber exhibits an attenuation

    Abstract: An optical fiber with low fictive temperature along with a system and method for making the optical fiber are provided. The system includes a reheating stage that heats the fiber along the process pathway to a temperature sufficient to lower the fictive temperature of the fiber by relaxing the glass structure and/or driving the glass toward a more nearly equilibrium state. The fiber is drawn from a preform, conveyed along a process pathway, cooled and subsequently reheated to increase the time of exposure of the fiber to temperatures conducive to lowering the fictive temperature of the fiber. The process pathway may include multiple reheating stages as well as one or more fiber-turning devices.

    Abstract: A thermoplastic filament comprising multiple polymers of differing flow temperatures in a regular geometric arrangement, and a method for producing such a filament, are described. Because of the difference in flow temperatures, there exists a temperature range at which one polymer is mechanically stable while the other is flowable. This property is extremely useful for creating thermoplastic monofilament feedstock for three-dimensionally printed parts, wherein the mechanically stable polymer enables geometric stability while the flowable polymer can fill gaps and provide strong bonding and homogenization between deposited material lines and layers. These multimaterial filaments can be produced via thermal drawing from a thermoplastic preform, which itself can be three-dimensionally printed. Furthermore, the preform can be printed with precisely controlled and complex geometries, enabling the creation of monofilament and fiber with unique decorative or functional properties.

    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a glass perform, includes: a dummy tube section, a reservoir portion, and a cooling portion; and a glass tube section in which particles of an alkali metal compound or an alkaline earth metal compound which have flowed into the glass tube section from the dummy tube section are heated by a second heat source which performs traverse, and oxides of the particles being deposited on an inner wall and dispersed in the glass tube section. In the cooling portion of the dummy tube section, vapor of the alkali metal compound or the alkaline earth metal compound generated by heating of a first heat source is cooled and condensed by a dry gas flowing into the dummy tube section, and thereby the particles are generated.
