Abstract: Various embodiments described herein include rare earth doped glass compositions that may be used in optical fiber and rods having large core sizes. Such optical fibers and rods may be employed in fiber lasers and amplifiers. The index of refraction of the glass may be substantially uniform and may be close to that of silica in some embodiments. Possible advantages to such features include reduction of formation of additional waveguides within the core, which becomes increasingly a problem with larger core sizes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a glass article for use as an optical waveguide fiber and more particularly to an optical waveguide fiber, the core of which is doped with a chalcogenide element to significantly increase the refractive index of the core. The subject of this invention is novel doped silica core compositions wherein a portion of the oxygen in the silica is replaced with either sulfur, selenium or tellurium using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). These compositions are designed to have higher refractive indices than silica, low coefficients of expansion, high optical transparency, and appropriate viscosity and softening points to make them ideal candidates for use as optical waveguide fibers.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a process for separating rare earth ions or actinide ions or mixtures thereof in solution by passing the solution through an ion exchange material to separate the rare earths or actinides or mixtures thereof. The ion exchange material has a surface area of about 5-1500 m.sup.2 /g. The ion exchange material is impregnated with a liquid containing alkali metal cations, Group Ib metal cations, ammonium cations, organic amines or mixtures thereof, at a pH range above about 9. A plurality of fractions of the solution is collected as the solution passes through the ion exchange material, preferably in a column. This process is particularly preferred for separating rare earth ions and especially lanthanum and neodymium. It is particularly preferred to purify lanthanum to contain less than 0.1 ppm, preferably less than 0.01 ppm, of neodymium. In another embodiment, the present invention comprises a method of producing a porous silicate glass containing at least one transition metal oxide additive selected from a group consisting of the bottom two rows of Group VIII of the Periodic Table. This method comprises preparing a base glass from a melt which contains 40-80 mol percent of silica and up to 10 mol percent of one or more transition metal oxide additives selected from said group or of precursors of said oxide additives, separating said base glass by heat treatment into at least a soluble phase and an insoluble phase, leaching out the soluble phase. In yet another embodiment, the present invention comprises an ion exchange material consisting of a porous glass or silica gel including at least about 0.2 mol percent of a transition metal oxide or hydrous metal oxide and containing at least 0.3 mol percent of alkali metal cation, Group Ib metal cation, ammonium, organic amines, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A liquid containing radioactive ions is purified (decontaminated) by contacting the same with an inorganic ion exchange composition having ion exchange sites which can be occupied by the radioactive ions from the liquid. The ion exchange composition is a mixture of an ion exchange medium and an additive which is relatively inert to the ion exchange process and which is a sintering aid for the ion exchange medium designed to lower the sintering temperature of the ion exchange composition. The ion exchange composition may be disposed within a suitable container (e.g., cannister), e.g., made of 304L stainless steel or Inconel 601 and the ion exchange process may be carried out in such container. Alternatively, the ion exchange medium can be employed without being previously admixed with the additive. The additive, if desired, can be admixed at a later stage with the contaminated medium. Thereafter, the mixture may be sintered and disposed of in any desirable manner as by underground burial of the spent mixture within the container. Also, the container may be placed within a suitably designed furnace for carrying out the ion exchange process, sintering of the ion exchange composition and its safe disposal. Methods are also described for making a homogeneous mixture of the ion exchange medium and the additive which, for example, have a certain defined density and particle size relationship.
