Abstract: A method of producing a planar optical waveguide by applying to at least a portion of one flat surface of a substantially flat glass substrate having a predetermined desired index of refraction a first coating of glass having an index of refraction greater than that of said glass substrate. Thereafter a second coating of glass having an index of refraction less than that of the first coating of glass is applied over the exposed surface of the first coating of glass. The thickness of the first coating of glass being determined as a function of the highest mode order and the wavelength of light to be propagated within a waveguide having infinite width, and the indices of refraction of the substrate and each of the applied coatings.

Abstract: A glass optical waveguide preform is formed by chemical reaction of gaseous and/or vaporized ingredients within a glass substrate tube. A reactant feed tube extends into a first end of the substrate tube. One of the reactants flows through the feed tube, and another flows through the annular channel between the feed and substrate tubes. The reactants combine just downstream of the end of the feed tube and react to form particulate material, at least a portion of which deposit in the substrate tube. The output end of the feed tube traverses the substrate tube so that the region of maximum soot deposition moves along the length of the substrate tube. A hot zone traverses the substrate tube in synchronism with the feed tube to sinter the deposited soot.

Abstract: A method of incorporating an additive or dopant oxide into a glass body produced by the oxidation of vaporous source material in a flame.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the production of fused silica-containing glass articles of large cross section or diameter wherein at least a surface layer thereof exhibits very high optical quality. The method involves depositing via flame hydrolysis/oxidation reaction a layer of fused silica-containing soot onto a supporting bait, essentially immediately thereafter applying a source of heat concentrated uniformly across the breadth of the soot deposit, but focused only over a relatively small area thereof, to raise the temperature within that area sufficiently to uniformly consolidate the soot in that area into a non-porous glass, and then cooling the glass to room temperature.

Abstract: A method of forming graded index, nitrogen-doped optical waveguides. A cylindrically-shaped porous preform comprising at least two oxides is initially formed. One of the oxides, which more readily reacts with nitrogen, has a greater concentration near the center of the preform than at the outer portion thereof. The preform is treated with a nitrogen-containing compound to form a porous body having a greater concentration of nitrogen in the central portion thereof. The porous preform is consolidated and drawn into an optical waveguide filament.
