    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of fabricating rare earth doped preforms and optical fibres by a combination of modified chemical vapour deposition (MCVD) process and solution doping technique said MCVD process is used to develop matched or depressed clad structure inside a silica glass substrate tube followed by deposition of porous silica soot layer containing GeO2, P2O5 or such refractive index modifiers by the backward deposition method for formation of the core and presintering the deposited particulate layer by backward pass with flow of GeCl4 and/or corresponding dopant halides, soaking the porous soot layer into an alcoholic/aqueous solution of RE-salts containing codopants such as AlCl3 in definite proportion, drying, oxidation, dehydration and sintering of the RE containing porous deposit and by collapsing at a high temperature to produce the preform followed by drawing the fibres by known technique to produce fibres with suitable core-clad dimensions and geometry.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for the manufacture of an optical fiber preform having incorporated therein a comparatively high concentration of rare earth dopant material, and which thus can be drawn and processed into an optical fiber having low numerical aperture, low core attenuation, and high pumping power absorption. The high concentrations of rare earth dopant material are accomplished through either the “hybrid vapor processing” (HVP) method or a “hybrid liquid processing” (HLP) method, each capable of being practiced in combination or independently of one another. The HVP method involves the vaporization of a rare earth halogen by the exposure thereof to a sufficiently elevated temperature, independently, or contemporaneously with the transport of the resultant rare earth halogen laden vapor, into a glass forming oxidation reaction zone on a flowing stream of essentially an unreactive inert gas, such as helium. According to the HLP method, a first amount of rare earth dopant is provided according to the HVP method and/or other vapor source of rare earth dopant which is mixed with glass forming vapors to form a deposited soot layer on the internal surface of a glass tube. The soot-deposited tube is then impregnated with a dopant solution which may be formulated with a second amount of rare earth dopant. The tube is then thermally collapsed resulting in an optical preform with a an enhanced amount of incorporated first and second amounts of rare earth dopant.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses novel methods for fabricating optical fiber glass preforms which may contain alumina, germania, erbium, or other rare earth metals as dopants. Doping with a higher concentration of alumina enhances the solubility of the erbium, or other rare earth, dopant within the glass and the resultant optical properties of the fiber. However, the addition of an alumina dopant can cause processing difficulties due to the formation of inclusions, such as gas bubble, seeds or crystallite formation, within the glass preform or glass cane. The present invention overcomes these processing difficulties and produces glass preforms or canes that are inclusion-free.
