    Abstract: A method is disclosed for making a step-index optical fiber having a steep refractive index gradient between core and cladding. Core glass particles comprising a base glass and a refractive index-increasing dopant are deposited on a mandrel. The mandrel is removed and the resultant soot preform is consolidated to form a core preform having a dopant-poor surface region. The core glass preform is stretched and the hole therein is closed to form a core bait rod. Cladding glass soot is deposited on the core bait rod at a density which is at least 0.5 g/cc. This is accomplished by directing the flame from an auxiliary burner onto the core bait rod immediately prior to the deposition of cladding soot thereon. The resultant preform is consolidated and drawn into an optical fiber. In another embodiment, the etched core preform is overclad with a layer of cladding glass, and the composite preform is stretched prior to applying a second overclad layer.

    Abstract: An optical fiber waveguide resistant to ionizing radiation having a glass core of predetermined refractive index surrounded by glass cladding having a lower predetermined refractive index. The glass core and glass cladding are each composed of high purity silica incorporating gallium as a constituent. The gallium is present in the form of Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 in a concentration of about 0.01 to 0.15 mole percent ratio to the silica. The glass of the optical waveguide can further include phosphorus in the form of P.sub.2 O.sub.5 as an additional constituent in the amount of from about 5 to 16 mole percent ratio to the total amount of all constituents.The waveguide of the invention is preferably manufactured by using GaCl.sub.3 in combination with an internal vapor phase process to produce a silica soot (16) containing Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 on the interior surface of a high purity silica tube (10). The soot is then consolidated and the tube collapsed to form a substantially voidless solid rod preform of high purity SiO.sub.2 containing GeO.sub.2.The process of manufacture is controlled so as to dispose Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 within the preform in a concentration of about 0.01 to 0.15 mole percent ratio to the total constituents of the silica preform. The process can further include the deposition of P.sub.2 O.sub.5 within the preform.

    Abstract: Solid glass articles are made by the flame hydrolysis technique. A thin stratum of low viscosity glass soot is applied to the surface of a mandrel. First and second coatings of glass soot are deposited on the surface of the thin stratum to form a porous preform. The refractive index of the soot particles of the first coating is greater than that of the soot of the second coating, and the soot of the first coating has a viscosity lower than that of the second coating. The mandrel is removed, and the soot preform is subjected to a high temperature whereby it is consolidated to form a dense glass blank. The glass surface tension and the relative viscosities of the inner and outer portions of the preform cause the aperture to close during the consolidation process. The thin stratum, which preferably includes P.sub.2 O.sub.5, smoothes over the damage caused by removing the mandrel and reduces or even eliminates seed formation at the axis of the resultant glass blank. The blank is heated and drawn into an optical fiber.
