Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fluorinated rare earth doped glass composition and method for making a glass-ceramic optical article therefrom, e.g. optical fiber waveguides, fiber lasers and active fiber amplifiers, having application in the 1300 nm and 1550 nm telecommunications windows. The inventive compositions include Pr3+ and/or Dy3+ in a concentration range of between 300-2,000 ppmw and Ag+ in a concentration range of between 500-2,000 ppmw; or Er3+ in a concentration range of between 500-5,000 ppmw and Ag+ in a concentration range of between 0-2,000 ppmw. The monovalent silver ion provides an ionic charge balanced glass-ceramic crystal. These compositions exhibit reduced or absent rare earth ion clustering and fluorescence quenching effects in the presence of high concentrations of rare earth ion dopants.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for drawing an elongated glass article such as a fiber optic device. The article is drawn upwardly from a source through the surface of a quantity of molten metal having a vertical temperature gradient. The source can be an elongated solid glass preform that is vertically positioned within the molten metal such that the temperature of that portion of the molten metal adjacent the upper end region is sufficiently high to heat that region to drawing temperature. The upper end region is pulled to form a tapered root, continued pulling resulting in the formation of an elongated article from the small diameter root end. The relative position of the root is maintained with respect to the surface of the molten metal during the drawing operation. Alternatively, the glass can be drawn from an orifice located within the molten metal. The apparatus includes container means for supporting the molten metal, and external or internal means for heating and/or cooling portions of the molten metal. The container can also be provided with baffle means for dividing the container into a plurality of chambers.

Abstract: A glass-ceramic rare earth doped fiber comprises a plurality of crystallites, wherein at least 90% of the rare earth dopant is situated within said crystallites. The stimulated emission and absorption line shapes of the rare earth doped glass-ceramic fiber is narrower than that stimulated emission and absorption line shapes of the precursor rare earth doped glass. This is indication of the reduction in the inhomogenous broadening of glass-ceramic fibers compared to glass fibers. An embodiment of an optical amplifier includes: an input port; a length of glass-ceramic rare earth doped fiber, the glass-ceramic fiber being operatively coupled to the input port and including a plurality of crystallites; at least one optical pump coupled to this glass-ceramic fiber; an output port providing an amplified optical signal; and at least one optical component situated between the input port and the output port.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming a glass preform from core and cladding glasses having low liquidus viscosities and narrow working ranges. A tube of liquid core glass is vertically situated in a vessel of liquid cladding glass. The tube extends to the bottom of the vessel where there is a stopper for preventing leakage of core glass. While both core and cladding glasses are at a temperature just above the liquids temperature, the vessel is lowered into a coolant bath, thereby causing core glass to flow into the region vacated by the tube. The rate of withdrawing the tube from the vessel is sufficiently slow to provide laminar flow and yet fast enough to permit the resultant liquid core/clad composite to freeze before mixing occurs.

Abstract: Mill additions are disclosed which lower the CTE of, and are compatible with, tin-phosphorus oxyfluoride glasses. The sealing materials provide fusion-type seals having a CTE not over about 110x10-7/.degree.C and a sealing temperature not over about 350.degree.C. Also disclosed is a family of glass compositions in the tin-phosphorus oxyfluoride system that exhibit very low glass transition temperatures and coefficients of thermal expansion not over about 160x10-7/.degree.C (25-150.degree.C). In addition to the four basic elements, the glasses contain up to 11% Nb, and may additionally contain up to 10%, taken individually or in combination, of V, Fe and/or Mo to further decrease the Tg and CTE values.

Abstract: Devices are made comprising a tin-phosphorous oxyfluoride glass, which has been exposed to light, preferably shorter in wavelength than the onset of the absorption edge of the glass, to change the refractive index change of the glass. The glasses can be used to form planar and fiber devices, including core/clad structures for guiding light.
