    Abstract: Large sol-gel derived silicon-containing monoliths are prepared with the use of drying control chemical additives selected from the group consisting of glycerol, formamide, oxalic acid and acids of the formula C.sub.n H.sub.2(n-1) O.sub.2 N to control the ultrastructure of the gel solid and pore phases. Gelation, aging, drying, and densification of the sol-gel derived monoliths may be performed rapidly in tens of hours instead of tens of days without cracking, final densification at temperature of 800.degree. C. to 1200.degree. C. or less being possible. The silicon-containing monolith comprises a ternary SiO.sub.2 --B.sub.2 O.sub.3 --Na.sub.2 O system.

    Abstract: A glass body having a graded (substantially Gaussian) index profile is produced by a process that comprises providing a doped porous body (e.g., having a uniform dopant distribution), heat treating the porous body in a halogen-containing atmosphere, and consolidating the porous body into the glass body. The heat treatment removes a predetermined portion of the dopant from the porous body, such that the radial dopant profile in the glass body differs from the initial profile in the porous body, and such that the Gaussian index profile results. Exemplarily, the porous body is a uniformly germania-doped, VAD-produced, high-silica rod having radially decreasing density, and the heat treatment comprises an 8-hour densification soak at 1300.degree. C. in 20% Cl, 80% He. In a preferred embodiment, silica overcladding is deposited on a graded index core rod produced according to the invention, and fiber drawn from the resulting composite glass body.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for producing polarization-preserving and single polarization optical fibers. As disclosed, high birefringence is introduced into the preform by deforming the fiber preform such that a cladding layer becomes flat and highly conformable, while the core remains hard and substantially round. In particular, a cladding layer with a relatively low melting point is utilized such that when the preform is heated the cladding becomes liquified while the core remains solid. The preform may then be deformed so that the cladding layer is substantially flattened. Standard drawing techniques may then be utilized to form polarization-preserving fibers and single polarization fibers from the preform.

    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: The present invention relates to a new glass material applicable in those situations where thermal and/or mechanical shock would limit the use of other glass materials presently available. Dopants are deposited into the interconnected pores of a porous glass in a non-uniform manner such that upon consolidation and cooling the final article has its surface under compressive stress. Dopants may also be added to control color and other appearance features. A porous silicate glass is washed with sodium hydroxide followed by immersing the washed glass in a liquid solution of a dopant in a liquid solvent therefor to stuff the pores of the washed glass with the solution. Thereafter, the solvent is removed from the pores and the pores are collapsed by a heating step.
