The inventive direct deposit vitrified silicon oxyfluoride glass is transmissive at wavelengths around 157 nm, making it particularly useful as a photomask substrate at the 157 nm wavelength region. The inventive photomask substrate is a dry direct deposit vitrified silicon oxyfluoride glass which exhibits very high transmittance in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) wavelength region while maintaining the excellent thermal and physical properties generally associated with high purity fused silica. In addition to containing fluorine and having little or no OH content, the inventive direct deposit vitrified silicon oxyfluoride glass suitable for use as a photomask substrate at 157 nm is also characterized by having less than 1null1017 molecules/cm3 of molecular hydrogen and low chlorine levels.

Abstract: A porous glass intermediate body constructed by a core original layer formed as a core portion of an optical fiber, and a first clad original layer formed as a first clad portion of the optical fiber is formed. Thereafter, a transparent glass intermediate body is made by consolidating the porous glass intermediate body within an atmospheric gas with a chlorine-based gas with no fluorine compound. Thereafter, a porous optical fiber base material is made by forming a second clad original layer as a second clad portion of the optical fiber on the circumferential surface of the transparent glass intermediate body. When a porous state is then maintained, the porous optical fiber base material is dehydrated within the atmospheric gas with a chlorine concentration higher than that during the consolidation of the porous glass intermediate body. Thereafter, an optical fiber base material is manufactured by consolidating the porous optical fiber base material within a similar atmospheric gas. The optical fiber is made by wire-drawing this optical fiber base material.

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.
