    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for forming substantially striae-free glass substrates that are suitable for optical applications, including use in forming optical elements or structures such as mirrors and platen stage structures that can be used, for example, in EUV lithography. The method includes forming a mixture of silica soot, binder, lubricant and solvent. The homogenized mixture is then extruded through a slit die or mask into a flat planar pre-form, and the extruded pre-form is then consolidated by heating into a substantially full density, substantially striae-free lithography glass substrate structure. The consolidated perform has a substantially uniform coefficient of thermal expansion and is also substantially void free.

    Abstract: An optical fiber comprises a photosensitive core that includes a concentration of a first material that increases the refractive index of the core and a concentration of a second material that is other than boron and that reduces the refractive index of the core. A cladding is disposed about the core for tending to confine light to the core. The fiber also includes at least one longitudinally extending region having a thermal coefficient of expansion that is different from the thermal coefficient of expansion of the cladding. In another embodiment, the core includes a concentration of germanium and a concentration of boron. Also disclosed is a polarization-maintaining double-clad (PM DC) fiber comprising one or both of at least one circular axially extending stress inducing region(s) and an inner cladding comprising a circular outer perimeter. Fibers according to the invention can include a rare earth dopant for emitting light of a selected wavelength responsive to being pumped by pump light of a pump wavelength that is different than the selected wavelength.

    Abstract: An optical amplifying fiber including a clad, a first core provided inside the clad and containing Ge, a second core provided inside the first core and containing Er and Al, and a third core provided inside the second core and containing Ge. The second core has a refractive index higher than that of the clad, and the first and third cores have refractive indexes each of which is higher than that of the second core. Since the third core having the high refractive index is provided at a central portion, it is possible to make smaller a mode field diameter and hence to improve a conversion efficiency of pumping light into signal light. Further, since the second core contains Al as an amplification band width increasing element, it is possible to sufficiently ensure a wide amplification band width.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical waveguide fiber having a compressive outer layer that includes TiO2 in the SiO2 matrix glass. The compressive outer layer includes crystalline structures containing TiO2 that are predominately rutile. Also disclosed is a method for making an optical waveguide fiber having a compressive outer layer. The compressive outer layer can contain an additional metal oxide that is preferentially lost from the outer layer, instead of the TiO2, during the drying and consolidation step.
