    Abstract: A method for making extreme ultraviolet lithography tool glass substrates includes generating a plasma, delivering reactants comprising a silica precursor and a titania precursor into the plasma to produce titania and silica particles, and depositing the titania and silica particles on a deposition surface to form a homogeneous titania-doped silica. The invention provides for homogeneous glass substrates that are free of striae variations and provides for beneficial extreme ultraviolet lithography reflective optics.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of preparing an optical fiber preform with the preform having a uniform refractive index profile for the deposited oxide material that ultimately forms the optical fiber core. One embodiment of the invention relates to a process for preparing an optical fiber preform comprising the steps of etching a substrate a first time to remove a portion of a deposited oxide material from the preform by using a gas comprising an etchant gas containing fluorine at a sufficient temperature and gas concentration to create a fluorine contamination layer in the remaining deposited oxide material; and etching the preform a second time using a gas comprising an etchant gas containing fluorine at a sufficient temperature and gas concentration to remove the fluorine contamination layer without any substantial further fluorine contamination of the remaining deposited oxide material. Further embodiments relate to similar processes.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a dispersion compensating optical fiber that includes a core surrounded by a cladding layer of refractive index nCL. The core includes at least three radially adjacent regions, a central core region, a moat region having a refractive index nM that is sufficiently lower than nCL such that &Dgr;M≦−0.4%, and a ring region. As the ring region exhibits sufficiently high refractive index at a sufficiently long distance from the outer edge of the moat region, the fiber can exhibit low values of negative dispersion slope at low values of negative dispersion and yet exhibit good bending loss. This ring region is also capable of imparting to the fiber a relatively high cutoff wavelength, so that the present invention is particularly well suited for use in L-band systems. A particularly suitable fiber has an index profile in which that part of the ring region at the transition between the moat and the ring region has a refractive index such that its delta value is close to zero. Also disclosed is a method of forming the fiber of the present invention.

    Abstract: An isotopically-altered, silica based optical fiber is provided having lower losses, broader bandwidth, and broader Raman gain spectrum characteristics than conventional silica-based fiber. A heavier, less naturally abundant isotope of silicon or oxygen is substituted for a lighter, more naturally abundant isotope to shift the infrared absorption to a slightly longer wavelength. In one embodiment, oxygen-18 is substituted for the much more naturally abundant oxygen-16 at least in the core region of the fiber. The resulting isotopically-altered fiber has a minimum loss of 0.044 dB/km less than conventional fiber, and a bandwidth that is 17 percent broader for a loss range between 0.044-0.034 dB/km. The fiber may be easily manufactured with conventional fiber manufacturing equipment by way of a plasma chemical vapor deposition technique. When a 50 percent substitution of oxygen-18 for oxygen-16 is made in the core region of the fiber, the Raman gain spectrum is substantially broadened.
