    Abstract: A method produces a glass body that contains a reduced amount of OH groups in the metallic-oxide-containing glass layer and that has a reduced amount of transmission loss due to OH groups when the glass body is transformed into an optical fiber. The production method produces an optical glass body. An optical fiber contains the optical glass body in at least one part of its region for guiding a lightwave. The production method includes the following steps: (a) introducing into a glass pipe a gas containing an organometallic compound and a glass-forming material; (b) decomposing the organometallic compound into an organic constituent and a metallic constituent; (c) heating and oxidizing the metallic constituent so that produced glass particles containing a metallic oxide are deposited on the inner surface of the glass pipe to form a glass-particle-deposited layer; and (d) consolidating the deposited layer to form a metallic-oxide-containing glass layer.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a halogen-doped glass includes providing a gel monolith having a first halogen content. The method further includes reducing an impurity concentration of the gel monolith. The method further includes consolidating the gel monolith into a glass having a second halogen content.

An optical fiber amplification device comprises a borosilicate glass material cladding. The core comprises a germanate glass material doped with Tm3+. The germanate glass material has a first surface configured to receive an optical signal having a wavelength of from about 1400 nm to about 1540 nm and a second surface configured to output an amplified optical signal. In this manner, low cost fiber amplifiers in the 1450-1530 nm wavelength region (corresponding to the S-band) can be achieved.
