    Abstract: At least three elementary optical fibers are covered with a jacket layer. Each of the elementary optical fibers has a core of a first refractive index doped with at least one rare earth element and Al, and a cladding layer of a second refractive index lower than the first refractive index for covering the core. A value of (1+2t/Dw) is ranged to be 1.1 to 2.5, where t is a thickness of the cladding layer, and Dw is an outer diameter of the core, and a doping amount of Al is at least 1 weight %. The at least three elementary optical fibers are inserted into a jacket tube, and the elementary optical fibers and the jacket tube are heated to be welded at contact surfaces thereof by vacuum-drawing air from interstices of the elementary optical fibers and the jacket tube. Thus, a preform is obtained, and the preform is heated to be drawn. Consequently, a rare earth element-doped multiple-core optical fiber is fabricated. The rare earth element-doped multiple-core optical fiber is used to amplify a signal light to be propagated therethrough by receiving an excitation light.

    Abstract: A method is provided for making an optical fiber by melting and cladding a multi-component core glass without adding the contamination that is normally associated with these processes. As an initial step, a pure multi-component glass is melted in a high purity silica crucible. The temperature of the glass in the crucible and the temperature of the orifice thereof are controlled so that a cane of glass is drawn from the bottom of the crucible. This cane of glass is fed into a silica or borosilicate tube which is being drawn into a fiber. This results in an optical fiber in which the multi-component glass forms the core while the tube forms the cladding.
