Abstract: Methods for forming optical fiber preforms are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method for forming an optical fiber preform includes forming a preform core portion from silica-based glass soot. The silica-based glass soot may include at least one dopant species for altering an index of refraction of the preform core portion. A selective diffusion layer of silica-based glass soot may be formed around the preform core portion to form a soot preform. The selective diffusion layer may have an as-formed density greater than the density of the preform core portion. A diffusing species may be diffused through the selective diffusion layer into the preform core portion. The soot preform may be sintered such that the selective diffusion layer has a barrier density which is greater than the as-formed density and the selective diffusion layer prevents diffusion of the at least one dopant species through the selective diffusion layer.

Abstract: What is disclosed includes OD-doped synthetic silica glass capable of being used in optical elements for use in lithography below about 300 nm. OD-doped synthetic silica glass was found to have significantly lower polarization-induced birefringence value than non-OD-doped silica glass with comparable concentration of OH. Also disclosed are processes for making OD-doped synthetic silica glasses, optical member comprising such glasses, and lithographic systems comprising such optical member. The glass is particularly suitable for immersion lithographic systems due to the exceptionally low polarization-induced birefringence values at about 193 nm.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for making a step-index optical fiber having a steep refractive index gradient between core and cladding. Core glass particles comprising a base glass and a refractive index-increasing dopant are deposited on a mandrel. The mandrel is removed and the resultant soot preform is consolidated to form a core preform having a dopant-poor surface region. The core glass preform is stretched and the hole therein is closed to form a core bait rod. Cladding glass soot is deposited on the core bait rod at a density which is at least 0.5 g/cc. This is accomplished by directing the flame from an auxiliary burner onto the core bait rod immediately prior to the deposition of cladding soot thereon. The resultant preform is consolidated and drawn into an optical fiber. In another embodiment, the etched core preform is overclad with a layer of cladding glass, and the composite preform is stretched prior to applying a second overclad layer.
