Abstract: A single mode optical fiber having a core made from silica and less than or equal to about 6.5 weight % germania and having a maximum relative refractive index Δ1MAX. The optical fiber also has an inner cladding surrounding the core and having a minimum relative refractive index Δ2MIN. A difference between a softening point of the core and a softening point of the inner cladding is less than or equal to about 20° C., and Δ1MAX>Δ2MIN. The single mode optical fiber may also have an outer cladding surrounding the inner cladding made from silica or SiON. The outer cladding has a maximum relative refractive index Δ3MAX, and Δ3MAX>Δ2MIN. A method for manufacturing an optical fiber includes providing a preform to a first furnace, the preform, drawing the optical fiber from the preform, and cooling the drawn optical fiber in a second furnace.

Abstract: Multicore optical fibers are disclosed that have randomly arranged cores within a cladding matrix. In some cases, the cores are defined by air lines formed in a glass matrix. The cores can have an edge-to-edge spacing designed so that the multicore optical fiber operates in either a weak-coupling regime or a strong-coupling regime. Imaging systems and optical fiber communication systems that utilize the multicore fibers disclosed here are also presented.

Abstract: An optical fiber for converting a Gaussian laser beam into a Bessel laser beam may include a first segment optically coupled to a second segment with a transition region, the first segment having a first outer diameter greater than a second outer diameter of the second segment. The first segment may include a first core portion with a first cladding portion extending around the first core portion. The first core portion may have an annular core region with a relative refractive index relative to the first cladding portion. The second segment may include a second core portion with a second cladding portion extending around the second core portion. The second core portion has a relative refractive index relative to the second cladding portion and the relative refractive index of the first annular core region may be substantially equal to the relative refractive index of the second core portion.

Abstract: A method of making a multi-mode optical fiber that includes: depositing a porous germania-doped silica soot to form a germania-doped porous soot preform; depositing a porous silica layer over the porous soot preform; doping the porous soot preform and the porous silica layer with a fluorine dopant to form a co-doped soot preform having a core region and a fluorine-doped trench region; consolidating the co-doped soot preform to form a sintered glass, co-doped core preform having a refractive index alpha profile between 1.9 and 2.2 measured at 850 nm; depositing a cladding comprising silica over the sintered glass, co-doped preform to form a multi-mode optical fiber preform; drawing the optical fiber preform into a multi-mode optical fiber. Further, the step of doping the germania-doped soot preform and the porous silica layer is conducted according to a doping parameter (Φ) that is set between 20 and 300, and given by: Φ = 1 × 10 14 R prc 2 exp ( - E / RT dop ) T dop 1 / 2 x 3 / 4 .

Abstract: A glass container including a body having a delamination factor less than or equal to 10 and at least one marking is described. The body has an inner surface, an outer surface, and a wall thickness extending between the outer surface and the inner surface. The marking is located within the wall thickness. In particular, the marking is a portion of the body having a refractive index that differs from a refractive index of an unmarked portion of the body. Methods of forming the marking within the body are also described.

Abstract: A multimode coupling fiber for optical data links features low coupling loss to silicon photonics lasers, VCSELs, single mode transmission fibers, multimode transmission fibers, and high speed receivers. The coupling fiber includes a core, an optional inner cladding region, a depressed index cladding region, and an outer cladding region. The relative refractive index profile of the coupling fiber includes a core region with α profile and a depressed index cladding region that facilitates low bending loss and high bandwidth. The mode field diameter of the coupling fiber is well-matched to standard single mode transmission fibers and the etendue of the coupling fiber is high enough to couple efficiently to multimode transmission fibers.
