An object of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber manufacturing method and an optical fiber in which an increase in the transmission loss is suppressed by preventing hydroxyl group from entering near the core portion.This invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical fiber 10 including forming a glass pipe 16 by applying a ring portion 15 on the inner face of a starting pipe 14 as a starting material, inserting a glass rod 13 that becomes a central core portion 11 and a depressed portion 12 into the inside of the glass pipe 16, integrating the glass pipe 16 and the glass rod 13 by collapse to form a glass body 17, forming a preform 10a by providing a jacket portion 18 outside the glass body 17, and drawing the preform 10a, wherein the thickness of the starting pipe 14 is set in a range from 4 mm to 8 mm.
Abstract:
Lithographic methods are disclosed. In one such method, a pulsed ultraviolet radiation source for producing ultraviolet lithography radiation having a wavelength shorter than about 300 nm at a fluence of less than 10 mJ/cm2/pulse and a high purity fused silica lithography glass having a concentration of molecular hydrogen of between about 0.02×1018 molecules/cm3 and about 0.18×1018 molecules/cm3 are provided. A lithography pattern is formed with the ultraviolet lithography radiation; the lithography pattern is reduced to produce a reduced lithography pattern; and the reduced lithography pattern is projected onto a ultraviolet radiation sensitive lithography medium to form a printed lithography pattern. At least one of the forming, reducing, and projecting steps includes transmitting the ultraviolet lithography radiation through the high purity fused silica lithography glass. Lithography systems and high purity fused silica lithography glass are also described.

Abstract:
A method of forming an alkali metal oxide-doped optical fiber by diffusing an alkali metal into a surface of a glass article is disclosed. The silica glass article may be in the form of a tube or a rod, or a collection of tubes or rods. The silica glass article containing the alkali metal, and impurities that may have been unintentionally diffused into the glass article, is etched to a depth sufficient to remove the impurities. The silica glass article may be further processed to form a complete optical fiber preform. The preform, when drawn into an optical fiber, exhibits a low attenuation.
