    Abstract: To provide a process for producing an air cladding type optical fiber by a method other than extrusion molding.A process for producing an optical fiber comprising a hollow glass fiber with an optical transmission glass held to extend in its axial direction at its center, which process comprises a step of heating and drawing a glass rod having three or more holes with an equal diameter provided around its center axis to extend in its axial direction where the distance between each hole and the axis is mutually equal and the distance between adjacent holes is mutually equal, and a portion surrounded by such holes will constitute said optical transmission glass, while applying pressure to expand the holes with one end of the rod closed, to form a preform wherein glass between the holes is in a plate form, and subjecting the preform to wire drawing to form an optical fiber in which said optical transmission glass is held by plate glass.

    Abstract: To overcome problems of fabricating conventional core-clad optical fibre from non-silica based (compound) glass, it is proposed to fabricate non-silica based (compound) glass optical fibre as holey fibre i.e. one contining Longitudinal holes in the cladding. This removes the conventional problems associated with mismatch of the physical properties of the core and clad compound glasses, since a holey fibre can be made of a single glass composition. With a holey fibre, it is not necessary to have different glasses for the core and cladding, since the necessary refractive index modulation between core and cladding is provided by the microstructure of the clad, i.e. its holes, rather than by a difference in materials properties between the clad and core glasses. Specifically, the conventional thermal mismatch problems between core and clad are circumvented. A variety of fibre types can be fabricated from non-silica based (compounds) glasses, for example: single-mode fibre; photonic band gap fibre; highly non-linear fibre; fibre with photosensitivity written gratings and other refractive index profile structures; and rare-earth doped fibres (e.g. Er, Nd, Pr) to provide gain media for fibre amplifiers and lasers.
