    Abstract: High optical quality glass windows, particularly of low melting and low viscosity glasses and substantially free of defects, particularly adapted for high energy laser applications, are made by stirring the molten glass during cooling without the use of a mechanical stirrer within the glass, by rotating the mold or crucible in which the glass is cooling, using a motion which is not entirely a circular and rotary motion.

    Abstract: To overcome problems of fabricating conventional core-clad optical fibre from non-silica based (compound) glass, it is proposed to fabricate non-silica based (compound) glass optical fibre as holey fibre i.e. one contining Longitudinal holes in the cladding. This removes the conventional problems associated with mismatch of the physical properties of the core and clad compound glasses, since a holey fibre can be made of a single glass composition. With a holey fibre, it is not necessary to have different glasses for the core and cladding, since the necessary refractive index modulation between core and cladding is provided by the microstructure of the clad, i.e. its holes, rather than by a difference in materials properties between the clad and core glasses. Specifically, the conventional thermal mismatch problems between core and clad are circumvented. A variety of fibre types can be fabricated from non-silica based (compounds) glasses, for example: single-mode fibre; photonic band gap fibre; highly non-linear fibre; fibre with photosensitivity written gratings and other refractive index profile structures; and rare-earth doped fibres (e.g. Er, Nd, Pr) to provide gain media for fibre amplifiers and lasers.

    Abstract: An active single-mode optical fiber has the core made of a rare earth doped non-oxide glass and the cladding made of an oxide glass. The glass of the core has a melting temperature lower than that of the glass of the cladding and lying within the range of the softening temperatures of the latter. In a preferred embodiment the core is made of a chalcogenide glass and the cladding is made of a lead silicate glass. To produce the fiber, a preform, obtained by introducing an element made of the non-oxide glass into the hole of a capillary tube made of the oxide glass, is brought to a temperature lying within the range of softening temperatures of the oxide glass and not lower than the melting temperature of the non-oxide glass, and is drawn. The capillary tube, during the drawing process, serves as a container for the molten glass of the core.

    Abstract: A vertically disposed apparatus used to make core-clad optical fibers inces an inner elongated cylinder removably closed at the top and provided at the bottom with an inner exit port of a smaller diameter than the inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, disposed around the inner cylinder, removably closed at the top and provided at the bottom with an outer exit port of a smaller diameter than the outer cylinder. The inner exit port is of a smaller diameter than the outer exit port and is disposed directly above the outer exit port. The apparatus also includes a heater for heating the inner and outer cylinders and acces to the inner and the outer cylinders for individually pressurizing inner and outer cylinders. The process by which the core-clad optical fibers are made includes the steps of placing a solid glass core rod into the inner cylinder of the apparatus described above, placing a solid glass cladding tube into the outer cylinder, melting the core rod and the cladding tube, quickly cooling the molten core rod and cladding tube to the drawing temperature, individually pressurizing the molten core rod and cladding tube, and drawing the core-clad optical fiber through the exit ports.
