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. The resultant glassy particles are deposited to form a porous preform having a uniform refractive index. During the consolidation process, the preform is subjected to an atmosphere including a drying agent which penetrates the interstices of the soot preform to simultaneously dry and dope the preform.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a glass core rod and a cladding layer clothing the glass core rod applied successively or continuously by using a carbon dioxide gas laser. A refractory mandrel is heated by means of carbon dioxide gas laser irradiation and a mixed gas of oxygen and pure silicon tetrachloride vapor and a dopant compound vapor is ejected to the refractory mandrel so as to deposit silicon oxide and oxide of the dopant compound on the mandrel and to form a glass core by fusing it. Further heating is applied by irradiation by the carbon dioxide laser beam on the glass core and a mixed gas oxygen and pure silicon tetrachloride vapor and a dopant compound vapor or of oxygen gas and pure silicon tetrachloride vapor to deposit silicon oxide and oxide of the dopant compound or silicon oxide on the glass core to form a cladding layer of fused silica or fused silica containing the dopant. The preform thus formed by the glass core and the cladding is heated above the softening temperature of the preform so as to spin to form an optical fibre. The method uses laser beam heating which results in less degree of contaminating impurity and water content which might cause absorption and scattering of light also to manufacture an optical fiber having less variation at the boundary of the glass core and the cladding layer.

Abstract: A method of forming an article, such as a low loss optical waveguide, by applying to a starting member a layer of glass soot to form a porous body. The porous body is then placed in a controlled environment in which a predetermined desired concentration of gases is maintained. The porous body is heated below the sintering temperature of the glass to permit entrapped gas to escape therefrom and the temperature is maintained until an equilibrium is reached between the partial pressure of the entrapped gas in the porous body and the partial pressure of the same gas in said environment. Thereafter, the porous body is further heated to at least the sintering temperature of the glass to sinter the soot particles and to form a consolidated dense member which may thereafter be formed into a desired shape while within said environment.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of making an optical fiber with improved bend performance, the optical fiber having a core and at least one cladding layer, and a chlorine content in the in the last layer of the at least one cladding layer that is greater than 500 ppm by weight. The fiber is prepared using a mixture of a carrier gas, a gaseous chlorine source material and a gaseous reducing agent during the sintering of the last or outermost layer of the at least one cladding layer. The inclusion of the reducing gas into a mixture of the carrier gas and gaseous chlorine material reduces oxygen-rich defects that results in at least a 20% reduction in TTP during hydrogen aging testing.
