Abstract: A method of forming an alkali metal oxide-doped optical fiber by diffusing an alkali metal into a surface of a glass article is disclosed. The silica glass article may be in the form of a tube or a rod, or a collection of tubes or rods. The silica glass article containing the alkali metal, and impurities that may have been unintentionally diffused into the glass article, is etched to a depth sufficient to remove the impurities. The silica glass article may be further processed to form a complete optical fiber preform. The preform, when drawn into an optical fiber, exhibits a low attenuation.

Abstract: A method for the cleaning of SiO2 grain is known whereby SiO2 grain comprising contaminations is heated to a temperature at which the contaminations soften or form melting agglomerates with the SiO2 grain, thus separating the contaminations and the SiO2 grain. On this basis and to specify a method which achieves high grain purity at comparatively little expenditure of time, material and costs, and to provide a simple device suitable for the implementation of the method, it is proposed according to the invention that the SiO2 grain is fed to and heated in a gas stream which is directed towards an impingement plate, the SiO2 grain being accelerated in the direction of the impingement plate such that softened contaminations or melting agglomerates adhere to the impingement plate and cleaned SiO2 grain is removed from the impingement plate. A simple device suitable for the implementation of the method is provided with a burner into which a burner gas is introduced for a, burner gas flame, and a feeder device by means of which the SiO2 grain containing contaminations is fed to the burner gas or the burner gas flame, as well as an impingement plate toward which the burner gas flame is directed.

Abstract: A refractory dielectric body is heated with a plasma torch at conditions which do not result in substantial removal of a surface portion of the body, yet which are sufficient to reduce both surface and bulk impurities. Typically, the body is solid, e.g., a rod as opposed to a tube, and is treated with the plasma in the absence of simultaneous deposition of material onto the body. Advantageously, an isothermal plasma torch is utilized, and the torch advantageously produces an oxygen or oxygen-containing plasma. The invention is useful for reducing chlorine impurities by at least about 30% to a depth of at least about 10 .mu.m, with accompanying reduction of hydroxyl impurities. The invention thus provides a useful method for reducing the concentration of impurities that contribute to imperfections during the process of drawing fiber from an optical fiber preform, without requiring substantial removal of the surface of the preform.

Abstract: Optical glass is produced by heating a porous gel to a high temperature to partly sinter it, heating it in a chlorine-containing atmosphere to subject it to hydroxyl group removal treatment, and then further heating it to sinter it. The optical glass produced by this process does not rise in bubbles even when heated.
