Abstract: The disclosed method of making microstructured optical fiber comprises providing a mold, with a multiplicity of elongate elements extending into the mold and being maintained in a predetermined spatial arrangement with respect to the mold. Silica-containing sol is introduced into the mold and is caused to or permitted to gel, such that a gel body results. After removing the elongate elements from the gel body and removing the gel body from the mold, the gel body is dried, sintered and purified, and the microstructured fiber is drawn from the sintered body.

Abstract: It has been found that in sol-gel processes utilizing TMAH, it is possible to treat a trimethylamine (TRIMA)-containing solution with hydrogen peroxide to form trimethylamine oxide - (CH 3 ) 3 N + -O- (TRIMAO), a water soluble compound which is less volatile and less odorous than TRIMA, and which is capable of being sent to a standard wastewater treatment plant. The hydrogen peroxide is generally added to the TRIMA-containing solution in a H 2 O 2 :TRIMA ratio of at least 3:1, advantageously at least 10:1. Because of the resultant TRIMAO solution's ability to be sent to a standard wastewater treatment facility, improved productivity and lowered expense of the overall fiber fabrication process are obtained. The invention is also suitable for treatment of triethylamine.

Abstract translation: 已经发现，在使用TMAH的溶胶 - 凝胶方法中，可以用过氧化氢处理含有三甲胺（TRIMA）的溶液以形成三甲胺氧化物 - （CH 3）3 N + -O-（TRIMAO），其为水溶性化合物 比TRIMA具有更低的挥发性和更低的臭味，并且能够被送到标准的污水处理厂。 过氧化氢通常以至少3：1，有利地至少10：1的H 2 O 2：TRIMA比率加入到含TRIMA的溶液中。 由于所得到的TRIMAO解决方案能够发送到标准废水处理设施，因此可以提高生产率并降低整个纤维制造过程的成本。 本发明也适用于三乙胺的处理。

Abstract: A process produces a glass overcladding tube from a silica gel body. The process includes passing the gel body through a hot zone under conditions that cause partial sintering of the gel body and repassing the gel body through the hot zone under conditions that further sinter the gel body into a glass overcladding tube. A preform for an optical fibre, comprising core, cladding layer and overcladding tube is also disclosed; the overcladding tube being the sintered, sol-gel produced, silica tube obtainable by the disclosed and claimed process of sintering the silica gel body.
