    Abstract: In the manufacture of silica optical fibers a tube having an internal coating of a volatile dopant is locally heated by a hot zone repeatedly traversed along its length to promote shrinkage and finally collapse of the tube bore. During the shrinkage prior to the final collapse traversal a gas flow of oxygen and a halide of the volatile dopant is maintained through the tube in order firstly to provide a small overpressure to ensure circularity in the shrinkage and secondly to compensate for the tendency for dopant to be lost by volatilization.

    Abstract: A method of making glass optical waveguides by the flame hydrolysis technique. Particles of glass soot produced by flame hydrolysis are deposited on the outside surface of a mandrel to form a porous preform. The soot particles closer to the mandrel have a refractive index greater than that of the soot disposed toward the outer surface of the preform. The mandrel is removed and the resultant hollow soot preform is supported in a draw furnace through which a helium-rich gas flows. The preform is heated to a temperature sufficient to cause said soot to consolidate and simultaneously permit an optical waveguide filament to be drawn therefrom.

    Abstract: OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES INCLUDE A CORE OF DOPED SIO2 AND A CLADDING OF PURE SIO2 OR DOPED SIO2. THE DOPANT, WHICH IS AN OXIDE OF A MULTIVALENT ELEMENT, BECOMES CHEMICALLY REDUCED DURING FABRICATION WHICH USUALLY INCLUDES HEATING THE WAVEGUIDE SO THAT IT CAN BE DRAWN. FOR EXAMPLE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, A COMMONLY USED DOPANT, HAS TI+4 IONS WHICH ARE REDUCED TO TI+3 IONS DURING THE FABRICATION OF THE WAVEGUIDES. THESE REDUCED IONS INCREASE THE ATTENUATION OF THE WAVEGUIDE. FOR EXAMPLE, REDUCED TITANIUM DIOXIDE IS BROWN. IT ABSORBS LIGHT IN THE BLUE REGION AND THE AMOUNT OF TI+3 IONS IN THE GLASS MUST BE QUITE LOW IN ORDER TO GET THE DESIRED WAVEGUIDE TRANSMISSION PROPERTIES. THE REDUCED MULTIVALENT ELEMENT ION ATTENUATION IS MINIMIZED BY HEAT TREATING THE WAVEGUIDE FIBER AT TEMPERATURES IN THE RANGE OF APPROXIMATELY 800 TO 1,000*C. FOR TIMES OF APPROXIMATELY SIX HOURS OR LESS. THE REDUCED MULTIVALENT ION IS OXIDIZED WITH HYDROXYL IONS DELIBERATELY RETAINED IN THE GLASS AND WHICH SERVE AS THE OXIDIZING AGENT.

    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.
