    Abstract: Optical fibers are described that exhibit reduced splice loss. Further described are techniques for fabricating optical fibers exhibiting reduced splice loss. One described fiber includes a plurality of regions, one region having a higher viscosity and the other region having a lower viscosity, such that when the fiber is drawn under tension, a strain is frozen into the higher viscosity region. A lower viscosity buffer layer is sandwiched between the higher viscosity region and the lower viscosity region. The buffer layer isolates the lower viscosity region from changes in refractive index in the higher viscosity region arising from a change in the strain frozen into the higher viscosity region.

    Abstract: A method for making extreme ultraviolet lithography tool glass substrates includes generating a plasma, delivering reactants comprising a silica precursor and a titania precursor into the plasma to produce titania and silica particles, and depositing the titania and silica particles on a deposition surface to form a homogeneous titania-doped silica. The invention provides for homogeneous glass substrates that are free of striae variations and provides for beneficial extreme ultraviolet lithography reflective optics.

    Abstract: Suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) by broadening the energy spectrum of participating SBS photons and/or phonons is achieved in an optical fiber having a core with both radially nonuniform viscosity and CTE profiles provided by alternating layers of glass modifying dopants such as phosphorous and fluorine. The nonuniform thermal expansion and viscosity profiles impart a residual, permanent, nonuniform stress in the fiber. The SBS suppressing effect provided by the nonuniform stress can be controlled and enhanced by applying a uniform or nonuniform tensile force to the fiber as it is being drawn. A preform for the fiber is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Provided is an optical fiber having holes extending along the axis whose transmission loss is substantially reduced and the manufacturing method thereof. First, a plurality of through-holes 9 are formed in a preform 5 extending along the preform axis. Subsequently, the preform 5 is heated by heating means 24 in the furnace preferably for 30 minutes or more at a temperature equal to or more than 800null C. while flowing a dry gas in the through-holes 9. As a result, the OH group which exists on the surfaces of the inner walls 5a of the through-holes 9 of the preform 5 is discharged outside the preform. Subsequently, the preform 5 is drawn into an optical fiber.
