    Abstract: An optical fiber comprises a photosensitive core that includes a concentration of a first material that increases the refractive index of the core and a concentration of a second material that is other than boron and that reduces the refractive index of the core. A cladding is disposed about the core for tending to confine light to the core. The fiber also includes at least one longitudinally extending region having a thermal coefficient of expansion that is different from the thermal coefficient of expansion of the cladding. In another embodiment, the core includes a concentration of germanium and a concentration of boron. Also disclosed is a polarization-maintaining double-clad (PM DC) fiber comprising one or both of at least one circular axially extending stress inducing region(s) and an inner cladding comprising a circular outer perimeter. Fibers according to the invention can include a rare earth dopant for emitting light of a selected wavelength responsive to being pumped by pump light of a pump wavelength that is different than the selected wavelength.

    Abstract: An optical fiber includes: a first core portion doped with rare earth ions; a second core portion having a lower refractive index than that of the first core portion, provided along an outer circumference of the first core portion, and doped with the rare earth ions; and a clad portion having a lower refractive index than that of the second core portion and provided along an outer circumference of the second core portion, and is configured such that a concentration of the rare earth ions added to the second core portion is higher than that to the first core portion. With this configuration, it is possible to suppress an amount of FWM crosstalk in an optical amplification by decreasing the length of a fiber while alleviating efficiency deterioration due to concentration quenching.

    Abstract: A polarization maintaining optical fiber has a core extending along a longitudinal axis, where the core includes a rare earth and a first index of refraction. A cladding is disposed about the core and has a first thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE) and a second index of refraction that is less than the first index of refraction. The fiber can include a pair of longitudinally extending members, and each of the members can have a TCE that is different than the first TCE of the cladding. The pair can be spaced apart by a distance di. A second cladding can be disposed about the first cladding, and the second cladding can have a third index of refraction that is less than the second index of refraction. The fiber can have a fundamental mode having a mode field diameter (MFD). The core can be a multimode core having a diameter dc that is greater than or equal to 15 microns, the numerical aperture of the core relative to the first cladding can be less than or equal to 0.12, the ratio di/MFD can be greater than 3, and the fiber can provide a beat length of less than 3 mm, where the beat length is measured at a wavelength of 633 nm.

    Abstract: A hybrid method of and apparatus for producing a structure capable of being drawn into an optical fiber. The method includes the steps of conducting vapor-phase reactants into an interior region of a glass tube, conducting aerosol form reactants into the interior of the glass tube. The tube is exposed to a heat, thereby causing a reaction among the vapor-phase and aerosol reactants. The reaction yields a product, in a solid form, within the tube. The apparatus includes a reaction tube, a vapor-phase reactant conduit, an aerosol-form conduit, and a heat source. The vapor-phase and aerosol-form reactant conduits facilitate introduction of vapor-phase and aerosol-form reactants into the reaction tube. The aerosol-form reactants are introduced proximate to a reaction zone created by the heat source. The aerosol-form reactants conduit and heat source travel the axial length of the reaction tube.
