    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a silica-titania-niobia glass and to a method for making the glass. The composition of the silica-titania-niobia (SiO2—TiO2—Nb2O5) glass, determined as the oxides, is Nb2O5 in an amount in the range of 0.005 wt. % to 1.2 wt. %, TiO2 in an amount in the range of 5 wt. % to 10 wt. %, and the remainder of glass is SiO2. In the method, the STN glass precursor is consolidated into a glass by heating to a temperature of 1600° C. to 1700° C. in flowing helium for 6 hours to 10 hours. When this temperature is reached, the helium flow can be replaced by argon for the remainder of the time. Subsequently the glass is cooled to approximately 1050° C., and then from 1050° C. to 700° C. followed by turning off the furnace and cooling the glass to room temperature at the natural cooling rate of the furnace.

    Abstract: The specification describes an improved optical fiber produced by a hybrid VAD/MCVD process. The core of the fiber is produced using VAD and the inner cladding layer has a depressed index and is produced using MCVD. In preferred embodiments, the optical power envelope is essentially entirely contained in VAD produced core material and the MCVD produced depressed index cladding material. Optical loss is minimized by confining most of the optical power to the VAD core where OH presence is low, as well as by maximizing the optical power in the un-doped silica region. The MCVD substrate tube material is essentially devoid of optical power.
