    Abstract: Procedures are disclosed for producing both core-cladding optical fibers and self-focusing optical fibers from porous germinate and/or silicate glasses obtained after phase separation and removal of the soluble phase. A glass which is separable into at least two phases one of which is soluble, is heated to cause phase separation. The soluble phase is leached out removing undesired impurities. The pores are collapsed and this glass is used to produce cores and/or cladding layers, or self focusing fibers. According to one aspect of the invention, preforms of the porous glass have their interconnected pores stuffed with a dopant. In the production of core-cladding optical fibers, the dopant modifies the index of refraction of the core and/or cladding so that the index of refraction of the core is greater than that of the cladding. The control of this index of refraction can be accomplished by addition of non silicate network formers such as GeO.sub.2 to the original melt before phase separation. These network formers will stay in the insoluble phase. In producing self-focusing fibers, the dopant may be non-uniformly deposited in order to produce a radial gradient in the index of refraction, or sodium or potassium ions may be ion exchanged into the glass for a portion of a dopant containing lithium or thallium to produce such an index of refraction gradient.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical fiber, in particular a laser fiber, containing a doped glass fiber core (1) and cladding (2) around the latter with a refraction index profile which decreases outwards from the fiber core. The optical fiber is distinguished by at least one intermediate layer (3, 4, 5) being disposed between the glass fiber core and the cladding to reduce the mechanical tension therebetween. In one advantageous embodiment, the intermediate layer is doped in such a way as to ensure a stepped mechanical tension distribution between the glass fiber core and the cladding, and is co-doped in such a way as to reduce the refractive index and counteract the refraction index-increasing effect of the intermediate layer doping. The invention further relates to an application of at least one doped barrier layer to a core region during preparation of the preform to avoid diffusion of special core dopants from the core during the collapse process, and to allow the diffusion of special dopants between the barrier layer and the core layer.
