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 deposition glass soot for making an optical fiber preform. A fuel and a glass precursor are flowed to a burner flame forming glass soot which is deposited onto a glass target. By first depositing an insulating layer of glass soot with a low velocity burner flame, the amount of water which may be adsorbed into the surface of the glass target can be reduced. Thereafter, the flame velocity may be increased to increase the deposition rate of the glass soot without significantly increasing the concentration of water incorporated into the glass target.

Abstract: An improved optical fiber design has been found to exhibit a relatively low attenuation at the wavelength of 1385 nm (the “water peak”), allowing for Raman amplification to be efficient and effective at wavelengths in the S-band range of 1460 to 1530 nm. An ultra-dry process is used to mate an inner core rod (core plus surrounding trench) with a cladding tube (ring region plus cladding layers) and provide a water peak loss on the order of 0.325 dB/km. The low water peak is combined with appropriate dispersion values and zero dispersion wavelength to form a fiber that supports transmission and Raman amplification in the S-, C- and L-bands of interest for optical transmission systems.

Abstract: Disclosed are high purity synthetic silica glass material having a high OH concentration homogeneity in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis, and process of making the same. The glass has high refractive index homogeneity. The glass can have high internal transmission of at least 99.65%/cm at 193 nm. The process does not require a post-sintering homogenization step. The controlling factors for high compositional homogeneity, thus high refractive index homogeneity, include high initial local soot density uniformity in the soot preform and slow sintering, notably isothermal treatment during consolidation.
