    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of producing soot used in the manufacture of optical waveguides. Both non-aqueous liquid reactants and aqueous solutions containing one or more salts are delivered through an atomizing burner assembly to form a homogenous soot stream containing the oxides of the selected elements contained within the non-aqueous liquid reactant and the aqueous solution. The resulting multi-component soot is collected by conventional methods to form preforms used in the manufacture of optical waveguide fibers. Alternatively, an aqueous solution may be atomized with a gas at a first burner assembly to form an aerosol and a reactant vaporized for delivery to a second burner assembly. Preforms produced by the methods are also disclosed. The aqueous solution is preferably one comprising a metal salt, e.g. acetate, nitrate, sulfate, carbonate, chloride, hydroxide. The metal of the metal salt is preferably an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, lead, lanthanum, cobalt, antimony, erbium, aluminum, neodymium, praeseodymium.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making rare earth (RE) doped optical fiber using BaO as co-dopant instead of Al or P commonly used for incorporation of the RE in silica glass by MCVD and solution doping technique. The method comprises deposition of particulate layer of GeO 2 doped SiO 2 with or without small P 2 O 5 for formation of the core and solution doping by soaking the porous soot layer into an aqueous solution of RE and Ba containing salt. This is followed by dehydration and sintering of the soaked deposit, collapsing at a high temperature to produce the preform and drawing of fibers of appropriate dimension. The use of Ba-oxide enables to eliminate unwanted core-clad interface defect which is common in case of Al doped fibers. The fibers also show good RE uniformity, relatively low optical loss in the 0.6-1.6 μm wavelength region and good optical properties suitable for their application in amplifiers, fiber lasers and sensor devices.

    Abstract: Filament in tube and stick in tube processes of forming optical fiber are described. A solid or monolithic core feedstock (110) is disposed in a hollow cladding structure (112) to form a loosely filled cladding structure. The filled cladding structure is heated to a draw temperature approximately equal to the softening temperature of the cladding structure. The feedstock (110) melts and fills the heated portion of the cladding structure forming a filled core which can then be drawn into optical fiber or to an optical can which can then be further overclad consolidated and drawn into fiber. Feedstock (110) and cladding structures (112) having widely varying coefficients of expansion may be employed. The resulting fiber can be readily designed to be fused to existing installed fibers.
