    Abstract: In the method of making a preform for a high numerical aperture gradient index optical waveguide, the concentration of two dopant constituents is changed during fabrication. Concentration of the first dopant, GeO.sub.2, is changed radially as the preform is built up in order to produce the desired radial refractive index gradient. The concentration of the second dopant, B.sub.2 O.sub.3, is changed radially to compensate for the radial change in thermal expansion coefficient caused by the varying GeO.sub.2 concentration. B.sub.2 O.sub.3 is added to the cladding layer to make the thermal expansion coefficient of the cladding equal to or greater than the composite thermal expansion coefficient of the core. The magnitude of residual tension at the inner surface caused by thermal expansion gradients is reduced and premature cracking of the preform is eliminated.

    Abstract: A process for preparing a glass rod having a graded refractive index for use as the start rod in the production of optical waveguides is disclosed. The process comprises depositing and sintering borosilicate particles on a glass rod to form a rod having a larger diameter than the original fused silica rod and drawing this rod to obtain a start rod having the same diameter as the original glass rod but exhibiting a partially radially graded refractive index. Optical waveguides prepared from such graded start rods have a more uniformly graded radial index of refraction profile.

    Abstract: Apparatus and process for automatic control of the production of optical fiber are disclosed. The process comprises continuously depositing and sintering borosilicate glass particles on a fused silica rod or a graded index rod in such a manner that the glass exhibits a uniform, radially increasing concentration of boron. The appropriate boron oxide/silica concentration ratio in the glass particles is controlled by the time of deposit and the weight and diameter of the rod, which are continuously monitored. The concentration of boron oxide and silica in the particulate is likewise continuously monitored to insure that the correct portion of boron oxide/silica is deposited.The apparatus for conducting the process, includes means for continuously monitoring the weight and diameter of the rod and the boron oxide content of the glass particles and means for automatically regulating the equipment used to produce the optical fiber in response to readings from the monitoring means.

    Abstract: A method of making low loss glass optical waveguides, wherein at least one coating of glass soot is deposited by the flame hydrolysis process on a starting member. The starting member is removed from the coating material or glass soot preform leaving an aperture therein, and a tube is secured to one end of the preform. While the preform is heated to its consolidation termperature, an atmosphere including a drying agent flows from the tube into the aperture and through the porous preform, thereby removing water from the preform while the soot is consolidated to form a dense glass article. The tube can be removed, and the resultant dense glass article can be drawn into an optical waveguide fiber.

    Abstract: A multimode optical fiber waveguide with graded refractive index for lessening modal dispersion with the gradient produced at least in part by radially decreasing boron oxide content outwardly from the core center within a high silica glass core minimizes modal dispersion by use of a non-parabolic grading function. The optimum gradient for a simple binary borosilicate system for a wavelength of from approximately 0.5 to 1.1 micrometers corresponds with .alpha. = 1.77 .+-. 10 percent in the equation n = n.sub.1 [1-2.DELTA.(r/a).sup..alpha.].sup.1/2, in which n.sub.1 is the axial core index r is the distance from the fiber axis, a is the core radius, .DELTA. is the relative index difference between core center and cladding and .alpha. is a power law exponent which characterizes the profile.
