    Abstract: Methods of fabricating an optical fiber preform and a method of fabricating an optical fiber of the invention realize the fabrication of an optical fiber having desirable transmission characteristics in the entire wavelength rage of about 1.3 to 1.6 nullm. The fabrication method comprisses a porous core rod producing step of depositing a first cladding (3) having an outer diameter D so as to surround a core (2) having an outer diameter d to produce a porous core rod (1) of D/dnull4.0 by VAD. Then, the porous core rod (1) is dehydrated to reduce the OH group concentration to 0.8 ppb or less by weight ratio. The porous core rod (1) is formed to be transparent for a vitrified core rod (4) and is heated and stretched. Thereafter, a second cladding is obtained by depositing a second porous cladding (5) around the vitrified core rod (4) by VAD to be dehydrated, transparent and vitrified. The optical fiber preform thus fabricated is drawn to form into an optical fiber and is then allowed to stand in a deuterium gas atmosphere for a predetermined period.

    Abstract: High purity silicon oxyfluoride glass suitable for use as a photomask substrates for photolithography applications in the VUV wavelength region below 190 nm is disclosed. The inventive silicon oxyfluoride glass is transmissive at wavelengths around 157 nm, making it particularly useful as a photomask substrate at the 157 nm wavelength region. The inventive photomask substrate is a “dry,” silicon oxyfluoride glass which exhibits very high transmittance in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) wavelength region while maintaining the excellent thermal and physical properties generally associated with high purity fused silica. In addition to containing fluorine and having little or no OH content, the inventive silicon oxyfluoride glass suitable for use as a photomask substrate at 157 nm is also characterized by having less than 1×1017 molecules/cm3 of molecular hydrogen and low chlorine levels.

    Abstract: A large optical preform 303 is made by a modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process by depositing successive layers of core and cladding materials onto the inside surface of a rotating glass tube 33 having a hydroxyl ion (OH.sup.-) level that is less than 0.5 parts per million (ppm) by weight. The tube is then collapsed inwardly to form a core rod 301 in which the deposited core material 31 has a diameter that is greater than about 5 millimeters and the deposited cladding material 32 has an outside diameter that is less than about 15 millimeters. A machine-vision system 140, 150, 160 monitors and controls the diameter of the glass tube by regulating the pressure within the tube. Moreover, the machine-vision system monitors and controls the straightness of the tube by varying its rotational speed according to angular position. After the core rod 301 is formed, it is plasma etched to remove contaminants, and then overclad with two glass jackets 34, 35 having a hydroxyl ion (OH.sup.-) level that is less than 1.0 ppm by weight to create a large preform 303 from which about 400 kilometers of singlemode optical fiber can be drawn per meter of length.
