Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to write refractive index gratings into an optical fiber which is as coated by preparing the specific silica-base optical fiber having a Ge-doped core exposed to a photosensitive agent and exposing this optical fiber to chemical rays in such a manner that the refractive index gratings are formed in the core. SOLUTION: The silica-base optical fiber 55 (having the core doped with the Ge) exposed to the photosensitive agent is prepd. This optical fiber 55 is exposed to the chemical rays 52 in such a manner that the gratings are formed in the core. The optical fiber 55 has a sufficient concn. of germanium oxide defect centers. This concn. is the concn. at which the fiber having the photosensitivity of at least 2 times and more preferably >=10 times the photosensitivity of the other optical fibers having the same performance may be provided. The photosensitivity is defined by Δn/(dosing quantity of the chemical rays) and Δn indicates the refractive index change by exposure of the optical fiber 55 to the prescribed quantity of the chemical rays 52.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately measure in a short time by disposing a container filled with liquid or the like, sealed at its opening with a sheet to be measured and set under predetermined conditions in a thermogravimetric analyzer, and measuring a weight of the container as a function of a time. SOLUTION: Permeability of a sheet-like material is measured by using, for example, a thermogravimetric analyzer 100. First, a predetermined liquid such as, for example, water is filled in a container 12 made of a stainless steel or the like and having no permeability, and an opening of the container 12 is sealed with a sheet material to be measured by using a cover having a predetermined opening and a deformable material such as, for example, an O-ring or the like. The sealed container 12 is disposed in a container holder 114 in a chamber 110 under predetermined temperature and humidity or the like by supplying, for example, nitrogen. Thereafter, a weighing instrument 112 is used to continuously measure a weight of the container 12, for example, in order of several hours. Permeability is calculated by using obtained weight change per hour, a thickness of the material to be measured, an area of the opening of the cover, and vapor pressures in and out of the container 12.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a coating material for optical fibers made of vinyl ether as a base material by using a vinyl ether monomer of the type selected for formulation of coating the coating material having excellent UV transmittability. SOLUTION: The UV spectra of 22 μm films of the coating material between quartz plates are shown and both are uncured and are shown by a curve 11. The results after irradiation with a UV dose of about 2 J/cm2 under a Fusion H tube are shown by a curve 12. Shown as a reference are the spectra, curve 13 of the coating material. The UV absorption acrylate coating material is fairly low in these spectra. The coating material of the vinyl ether exhibits the UV transmittability better than that of the acrylate coating material after curing and has the absorbance lower than 0.05 in a range of 240 to 260 nm. The degradation in the UV absorbance observed relating to the coating material under irradiation with UV indicates the conversion of the acrylate group. As a result, the need for adding discrete free basic photoinitiators is eliminated.

Abstract: The method of making an optical fiber refractive index grating comprises writing the grating through the fiber coating. The method involves providing optical fiber of significantly higher photosensitivity than conventional fiber, such that the grating can be written before unacceptable darkening of the coating occurs. Such fiber is H2 and/or D2-loaded silica-based fiber having a Ge-doped core, the fiber selected to have a germanium-oxygen deficiency center content that provides the fiber with a photosensitivity that is at least twice as large as that of an otherwise identical, conventionally prepared, optical fiber. The fiber typically is drawn from a preform, at least a portion of which was exposed to a reducing atmosphere at an elevated temperature.

Abstract: The specification describes optical fiber coating materials and methods for making optical fiber gratings wherein the material of the optical fiber coatings comprises vinyl ether functionalized monomers, together with oligomeric or polymeric thickeners and a cationic photoinitiator. These coating materials are highly transparent to UV radiation used to write optical gratings in the optical fibers but still absorb sufficiently at other wavelengths to be cured effectively using UV radiation.
