PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rare earth-added optical fiber of a low loss and a method for producing the optical fiber.SOLUTION: During a soot deposition process, the amount of GeClto be supplied is increased from the start of soot deposition while soot is deposited. As a result, the concentration of Ge dope is raised from the interface between a core and a clad toward the center of the core, becomes approximately constant from the raised position toward the center of the core, rises further from there toward the center of the core, and becomes maximum at the center of the core in a Ge doping profile. The optical fiber having the doping profile is produced.
Abstract:
The X-ray opaque glass is characterized by a composition, in mol %, of SiO2, 75-98; Yb2O3, 0.1 to 40; and ZrO2, 0 to 40. Preferred embodiments of the glass are free of Al2O3 and B2O3. The glass is produced from the glass batch by melting at a temperature of at least 1500° C. in an iridium or iridium alloy vessel with the assistance of high-frequency radiation. In preferred embodiments of the glass production process at least one raw material ingredient is present in the batch as a nanoscale powder. The glass is useful in dental applications, optical applications, and biomedical applications, or for photovoltaics, or as a target material in PVD processes.
