    Abstract: A rare earth element-doped multiple-core optical fiber has an outer cladding layer and a plurality of cores each covered with a primary cladding layer. The cores are positioned substantially on a central axis of the outer cladding layer and separated with a predetermined spacing S from each other by the primary cladding layer. The outer cladding layers are made of SiO.sub.2, or SiO.sub.2 added with a dopant like F, Ge, etc. The primary cladding layer is made of SiO.sub.2 doped with Er, or SiO.sub.2 doped with Er and F together and formed to have a predetermined thickness of 1.0 .mu.m.about.1.5 .mu.m to form the predetermined spacing S. The Soot glass rods for cores and primary cladding layers are immersed in an Er-compound solution, then picked up, dried and consolidated to form Er--Al co-doped SiO.sub.2 --GeO.sub.2 transparent glass rods. The glass rods are inserted into a quartz tube and collapsed by heat to fabricate an optical fiber preform rod, then heated to be drawn to provide an Er-doped multiple-core optical fiber.

    Abstract: An optical amplifier which includes an optical fiber having an erbium doped core surrounded by cladding, a pump for pumping the fiber with pump light at a pump wavelength coupled to the fiber, input means for inputting a signal to be amplified to the amplifier and output means for outputting an amplified signal from the amplifier. The fiber has a NA higher than 0.2. The difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the core adjacent the core/cladding interface and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the cladding at at least one radius less than 2 .mu.m from said interface is lower than a predetermined value, corresponding to a ratio of erbium loss to background loss, at said pump wavelength, and greater than a minimum ratio of about 20 when erbium loss is 0.15 dB/m and about 120 when erbium loss is 3.5 dB/m.

    Abstract: A vapor deposition method for making preforms from which optical waveguide fibers are drawn wherein at least a first precursor compound is oxidized at one oxidation site and at least a second precursor compound, which is different from the first precursor compound, is oxidized at a second oxidation site. The method is particularly applicable in cases where the first and second precursor compounds are chemically incompatible with one another or where the flow rate of the second precursor compound is substantially lower than the flow rate of the first precursor compound.

    Abstract: A process for heat sealing together two preformed glass articles preferably adapted to be nested one within the other by a technique which envisions a precise and careful conditioning and treatment of the surfaces to be heat sealed, coupled with temperature control and impressment of particular low pressure conditions as in combination promote the heat sealing joinder of the surfaces and consequently the articles together in a manner as is yieldative of an ultimate produce in which the optical as well as other properties of the preformed glass, as imparted by the compositional makeup thereof, is relatively unimpaired and therefore of high quality. This method is accomplished by a device having an elongate compartment having heaters located outside, with a base to hold the glass cylinder which has an opening connected to a vacuum source at the bottom of the compartment.
