    Abstract: A glass body having a graded (substantially Gaussian) index profile is produced by a process that comprises providing a doped porous body (e.g., having a uniform dopant distribution), heat treating the porous body in a halogen-containing atmosphere, and consolidating the porous body into the glass body. The heat treatment removes a predetermined portion of the dopant from the porous body, such that the radial dopant profile in the glass body differs from the initial profile in the porous body, and such that the Gaussian index profile results. Exemplarily, the porous body is a uniformly germania-doped, VAD-produced, high-silica rod having radially decreasing density, and the heat treatment comprises an 8-hour densification soak at 1300.degree. C. in 20% Cl, 80% He. In a preferred embodiment, silica overcladding is deposited on a graded index core rod produced according to the invention, and fiber drawn from the resulting composite glass body.

    Abstract: Technique for making glass having a predetermined refractive index profile using fluorine doping and fluorine etching. A substrate glass body is coated with a plurality of successively applied vapor deposited glass layers wherein each succeeding layer is built with a larger quantity of fluorine than the adjacent preceding layer. The amount of the doping in each layer is such as to achieve the desired refractive index profile. Fluorine etching is employed to provide a uniform core before the glass body is heat fused into a rod-like structure suitable for the preparation of light waveguides for use in optical communications technology.

    Abstract: An optical glass fiber is formed of an inner layer of germania doped glass within the bore of the outer cladding tube of silica. The tube with the higher index of refraction inner layer is rotated while being heated to collapse the bore to form an optical fiber preform. The preform is then drawn into fiber in a separate operation. A first silica layer can be deposited within the tube bore before the germania doped layer. The deposition of germania takes place under hydrogen free conditions. Appropriate heat treatment of the tube avoids excessive evaporation of germania and provides a graded transition of the refractive index in the boundary between core and cladding.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new glass material applicable in those situations where thermal and/or mechanical shock would limit the use of other glass materials presently available. Dopants are deposited into the interconnected pores of a porous glass in a non-uniform manner such that upon consolidation and cooling the final article has its surface under compressive stress. Dopants may also be added to control color and other appearance features. A porous silicate glass is washed with sodium hydroxide followed by immersing the washed glass in a liquid solution of a dopant in a liquid solvent therefor to stuff the pores of the washed glass with the solution. Thereafter, the solvent is removed from the pores and the pores are collapsed by a heating step.
