    Abstract: The present invention provides an optical fiber for use in fiber lasers and amplifiers wherein the optical fiber has a core member surrounded by a cladding member for receiving pump energy and transferring the pump energy to the core member. The optical fiber also has an outer layer surrounding the cladding member. The cladding member has a circular exterior periphery and a predetermined refractive index (nc). The cladding member has an index modified region that directs light to the core member. The index modified region has a stress field portion with a predetermined refractive index (ns). The difference between the refractive index of the cladding member and that of the stress field portion (nc−ns) is within such a range that the stress field portion does not affect the polarization properties of the light traveling in the core member. Preferably, the difference between the refractive index of the cladding member and that of the stress field portion (nc−ns) is less than 10−4, and more preferably 10−5.

    Abstract: An optical waveguide which can suppress adjacent crosstalk even when wavelength intervals to be multiplexed/demultiplexed are narrow. A lower clad film and a core film are deposited and formed on a substrate (11) by flame hydrolysis deposition, and they are consolidated, whereupon the core film is processed into a waveguide pattern. The waveguide pattern is formed by successively connecting at least one optical input waveguide (12), a first slab waveguide (13), an arrayed waveguide (14) consisting of a plurality of channel waveguides (14a) arranged side by side and having lengths different from one another, a second slab waveguide (15), and a plurality of light output waveguides (16) arranged side by side. The waveguides arranged side by side are at intervals from one another. An upper clad film covering the waveguide pattern is deposited and formed by flame hydrolysis deposition, and it is thereafter consolidated. Herein, a sintering rate in a temperature rise from a temperature at which the density change of the glass particles of the upper clad film starts, to a temperature at which the density change ends, is set at 1.0null C./min or below at the step of consolidating the upper clad film, whereby the arrayal aspect of the channel waveguides (14a) is brought close to an ideal aspect.

    Abstract: A novel planar waveguide structure has been constructed by sintering substantially pure SiO.sub.2 layers in a He.sub.2 /BCl.sub.3 atmosphere. This results in the generation of a liquid phase of substantially lower viscosity than that of the deposited silica by itself. Since viscous sintering is enhanced by the presence of this liquid, consolidation occurs at lower temperature, e.g. 1000.degree.-1100.degree. C., than those used in the prior art, e.g. 1350.degree.-1500.degree. C. Much of the B.sub.2 O.sub.3 remains unreacted with the silica particles it helps to sinter, acting like a flux to bring about consolidation. This remaining B.sub.2 O.sub.3 is removed at the conclusion of the consolidation procedure by steam treatment at temperatures of 900.degree.-1100.degree. C. Some boron is incorporated into the silica layer, changing its CTE without substantially increasing its index. Thus, this method improves both structure and processing of planar waveguides by reducing the processing temperature and producing a glass which does not bow the substrate and essentially eliminates birefringence resulting in polarization dependent losses. This greatly benefits sophisticated circuits such as those intended for wavelength diversion multiplexing and allows narrow and precisely positional pass bands.
