    Abstract: Glass material for infrared ray-transmitting optical fibers comprises a three-component material made of a 28 mol % to 38 mol % BaF.sub.2 -2 mol % to 7 mol % GdF.sub.3 -58 mol % to 69 mol % ZrF.sub.4 -based composition. The glass material is cast in a metal mold with a hollow section which is preheated to a temperature of at least 100.degree. C. but below the glass deformation temperature and annealing the melt in the metal mold to form a glass rod. The glass rod forming step includes heating the melt in the temperature range of between about 200.degree. C. and less than the glass deformation temperature and cooling the melt. The glass rod is removed from the metal mold and optically polished at the ends and sides and is then drawn into a fiber while applying tension to the tip of the glass rod while the glass rod is being heated. The glass rod is drawn into a glass fiber while maintaining the temperature at the end portion of the glass rod constant.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of optical fiber designs and fabrication processes for ultra small core fibers (USCF) are disclosed. In some embodiments, the USCF includes a core that is at least partially surrounded by a region comprising first features. The USCF further includes a second region at least partially surrounding the first region. The second region includes second features. In an embodiment, the first features are smaller than the second features, and the second features have a filling fraction greater than about 90 percent. The first features and/or the second features may include air holes. Embodiments of the USCF may provide dispersion tailoring. Embodiments of the USCF may be used with nonlinear optical devices configured to provide, for example, a frequency comb or a supercontinuum.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical fiber preform, the method comprising: providing a substantially elongated core preform made out of a core fluorinated glass; providing a substantially elongated and substantially tubular cladding preform made out of a cladding fluorinated glass, the cladding preform defining a bore extending substantially longitudinally therethrough; inserting the core preform into the bore of the cladding preform; fusing the core preform and the cladding preform to each other to produce an intermediate preform; heating the intermediate preform up to a stretching temperature, the stretching temperature being such that the core and cladding fluorinated glasses both have a viscosity of between 10−7 and 10−9 Pa s at the stretching temperature; stretching the intermediate preform at the stretching temperature to produce a stretched intermediate preform; and cutting a section of the stretched intermediate preform. Typically, the stretching temperature is between a vitreous transition temperature and a crystallization temperature of the core and cladding glasses.
