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.

Abstract: A cylindrical silver-activated phosphate glass base material 2 is placed inside a heater 1. The upper end of this base material 2 is set in a supporting section 3, and an extending section 4 provided in vertically movable fashion by means of a drive device is attached to the lower end thereof. As the base material 2 is softened by the heating of the heater 1, and the extending section 4 is lowered by operating the drive device, the base material 2 is extended and assumes a thin bar shape. The extension rate of the extending section 4 driven by the drive device is controlled by an external diameter control section 5, while detecting the external diameter, in such a manner that the external diameter of the extended portion is uniform. The extended portion 6 of the base material 2 is cut to uniform lengths, and the cut faces thereof are polished by a polishing device, thereby yielding a cylindrical dosimeter glass element 7a.
