    Abstract: A sol-gel process for fabricating bulk, germanium-doped silica bodies useful for a variety of applications, including core rods, substrate tubes, immediate overcladding, pumped fiber lasers, and planar waveguides, is provided. The process involves the steps of providing a dispersion of silica particles in an aqueous quaternary ammonium germanate solution - typically tetramethylammonium germanate, gelling the dispersion to provide a gel body, and drying, heat treating, and sintering the body to provide the germanium-doped silica glass.
    A process for fabricating germanium dioxide is also described.

    Abstract: A silica sol-gel fabrication process is provided which allows improved control of the shrinkage that takes place during the drying of a gel body. In particular, the invention makes it possible to attain extremely low shrinkage through the completion of the drying stage, e.g., below 1% linear shrinkage, in relatively large sol-gel bodies of (dry weight) 1 kg or more, typically 10 kg or more, or even 40 kg or more, compared to the much higher shrinkages typically encountered. Specifically, use of a particular polymeric additive makes it possible for a gel body to experience linear shrinkage at least 55% less than an identical process without the polymeric additive.
