    Abstract: The specification describes an improved optical fiber produced by a hybrid VAD/MCVD process. The core of the fiber is produced using VAD and the inner cladding layer has a depressed index and is produced using MCVD. In preferred embodiments, the optical power envelope is essentially entirely contained in VAD produced core material and the MCVD produced depressed index cladding material. Optical loss is minimized by confining most of the optical power to the VAD core where OH presence is low, as well as by maximizing the optical power in the un-doped silica region. The MCVD substrate tube material is essentially devoid of optical power.

    Abstract: A method of making a silica glass having a uniform fictive temperature. The glass article is heated at a target fictive temperature, or heated or cooled at a rate that is less than the rate of change of the fictive temperature, for a time that is sufficient to allow the fictive temperature of the glass to come within 3° C. of the target fictive temperature. The silica glass is then cooled from the target fictive temperature to a temperature below the strain point of the glass at a cooling rate that is greater than the relaxation rate of the glass at the target fictive temperature. The silica glass has a fictive temperature that varies by less than 3° C. after the annealing step. A silica glass made by the method is also described.
