Abstract: An isotopically-altered, silica based optical fiber is provided having lower losses, broader bandwidth, and broader Raman gain spectrum characteristics than conventional silica-based fiber. A heavier, less naturally abundant isotope of silicon or oxygen is substituted for a lighter, more naturally abundant isotope to shift the infrared absorption to a slightly longer wavelength. In one embodiment, oxygen-18 is substituted for the much more naturally abundant oxygen-16 at least in the core region of the fiber. The resulting isotopically-altered fiber has a minimum loss of 0.044 dB/km less than conventional fiber, and a bandwidth that is 17 percent broader for a loss range between 0.044-0.034 dB/km. The fiber may be easily manufactured with conventional fiber manufacturing equipment by way of a plasma chemical vapor deposition technique. When a 50 percent substitution of oxygen -18 for oxygen-16 is made in the core region of the fiber, the Raman gain spectrum is substantially broadened.

Abstract: A fiber optic waveguide (30) is disclosed. The fiber optic waveguide includes a core region (34), and a cladding region surrounding the core region. The cladding region includes an inner cladding region (32) and an outer cladding region (38). The inner cladding region has a lattice of large diameter columns (36). The lattice of large diameter columns have a diameter (d) to pitch ( LAMBDA ) ratio defined by the relationship d/ LAMBDA greater than or equal to 0.3.

Abstract: Disclosed is an optical waveguide fiber preform which is an assembly of one or more core rods (14) surrounded by a plurality of clad rods (10). The clad ro ds (10) have a central portion (12) and a surrounding layer (22), in which the refractive index of the central portion is lower than that of the surroundin g layer. The preform is drawn into an optical waveguide fiber that has a two component clad layer. Proper choice of the central portion (12) and surrounding layer provide a waveguide fiber that is endlessly single mode. Alternative embodiments include fibers containing dopants that enhance fiber photosensitivity or which provide stress-induced or asymmetric-refractive- index-induced birefringence in the waveguide fiber.

Abstract: A fiber optic waveguide (30) is provided. The fiber optic waveguide includes a core region (34), and a cladding region surrounding the core region. The cladding region includes an inner cladding region (32) and an outer cladding region (42). The inner cladding region has a lattice of ring structures. The core region is formed from a high index material and the cladding region is formed from materials producing an effective refractive index lower than the refractive index of the core region.
