    Abstract: There is disclosed a synthetic fused silica member used at a wavelength of 200 nm or less which has a hydroxyl group-content of 1 to 50 ppm and a fluorine-content of 100 to 1000 ppm, and contains no chlorine, and has a birefringence of the synthetic fused silica member of 2 nm/cm or less. The synthetic fused silica member can be used as a synthetic fused silica substrate for photomask, or in an optical system wherein a fluorine excimer laser is used as a light source. There can be provided a synthetic fused silica member which can efficiently transmit a light having a wavelength as 200 nm or less, especially fluorine excimer laser (157 nm), and does not suffer from lowering of transmittance due to damage.

    Abstract: A process for producing synthetic quartz glass using a burner composed of a plurality of concentric nozzles involves the steps of feeding a silica-forming raw material gas and a fluorine compound gas to a reaction zone from a center nozzle, feeding oxygen gas from a second nozzle outside the center nozzle, and feeding oxygen gas and/or hydrogen gas from a third nozzle. The silica-forming raw material gas is hydrolyzed to form fine particles of silica, which particles are deposited on a rotatable substrate so as to form a porous silica matrix, which is then fused to give the quartz glass. The flow rate of the oxygen gas fed from the second nozzle and the flow rate of the raw material gas are controlled so as to provide a 1.1- to 3.5-fold stoichiometric excess of oxygen. The excess oxygen suppresses SinullSi bond formation in the quartz glass, enabling the production of synthetic quartz glass having a high transmittance in the vacuum ultraviolet region.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a dispersion-compensating fiber which can be drawn at a lower temperature and can further reduce optical transmission loss. This dispersion-compensating fiber comprises a core portion containing a high concentration of GeO.sub.2 and a cladding portion formed around the outer periphery of the core portion. The cladding portion comprises a first cladding containing fluorine or the like as an index reducer, a second cladding having a higher refractive index than that of the first cladding, and a third cladding which becomes a glass region substantially noncontributory to propagation of signal light. In particular, the third cladding contains a desired impurity such that the glass viscosity thereof becomes lower than that of the second cladding or pure silica cladding at a predetermined temperature.
