    Abstract: An optical fiber is provided that includes a core region and a cladding region. The core region is formed of silica glass doped with chlorine and/or an alkali metal. The cladding region surrounds the core region and includes an inner cladding directly adjacent to the core region, an outer cladding surrounding the inner cladding, and a trench region disposed between the inner cladding and the outer cladding in a radial direction. The trench region has a volume of about 30% Δ-micron2 or greater. Additionally, the optical fiber has an effective area at 1550 nm of about 100 micron2 or less.

    Abstract: A multicore optical fiber includes a first core, a second core, and a common cladding. The first core includes silica and greater than 3 wt % chlorine, a first core centerline, a relative refractive index Δ1MAX, and an outer radius r1. The second core includes silica and greater than 3 wt % chlorine, a second core centerline, a relative refractive index Δ2MAX, and an outer radius r2. A spacing between the first core centerline and the second core centerline is at least 28 micrometers and a crosstalk between the first core and the second core is ≤−30 dB, as measured for a 100 km length of the multicore optical fiber operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm.

    Abstract: A honeycomb body having intersecting porous walls which includes first through fourth cells, wherein the cells extend from inlet to outlet face and are plugged to define a repeating structural unit with three inlets and one outlet channel. Repeating structural unit includes a first channel including length L1, width W2, and area A1, a second channel including length L2, the width W2, and area A2, a third channel including the length L1, width W1, and area A3, and a fourth channel including the length L2, the width W1, and A4, wherein the first through third channels are inlets and the fourth channel is a rectangular outlet and at least one of W1≥W2 and L1≠L2, i.e. W1≥W2, or L1≠L2, or W1≥W2 and L1≠L2. Repeating structural unit has a quadrilateral outer perimeter. Particulate filters including the honeycomb body, honeycomb extrusion dies, and methods of manufacturing the honeycomb body are provided.

    Abstract: The wideband multimode co-doped optical fiber has a silica core co-doped with GeO2 and Al2O3. The GeO2 concentration is maximum at the fiber centerline and monotonically decreases radially out to the core radius. The Al2O3 concentration is minimum at the centerline and monotonically increases radially out to maximum concentration at the core radius. The cladding has an inner cladding region of relative refractive index Δ2, an intermediate cladding region having a relative refractive index Δ3, and an outer cladding region having a relative refractive index Δ4, wherein Δ3
