    Abstract: A composition represented by the formula Si1−xGexO2(1−y)N1.33y, wherein x is from about 0.05 to about 0.6 and y is from about 0.14 to about 0.74 exhibits properties highly suited for use in fabricating waveguides for liquid crystal based optical devices. In particular, the compositions have an index of refraction of from about 1.6 to about 1.8 for light at a wavelength of 1550 nm, and/or a coefficient of thermal expansion of from about 2.5×10−6°C−1 to about 5.0×10−6° C.−1. The compositions also have inherently low hydrogen content, and a high hydrogen permeability which allows better hydrogen removal by thermal annealing to provide a material which exhibits low optical losses and better etching properties than alternative materials.

    Abstract: A sol-gel process for fabricating bulk, germanium-doped silica bodies useful for a variety of applications, including core rods, substrate tubes, immediate overcladding, pumped fiber lasers, and planar waveguides, is provided. The process involves the steps of providing a dispersion of silica particles in an aqueous quaternary ammonium germanate solution—typically tetramethylammonium germanate, gelling the dispersion to provide a gel body, and drying, heat treating, and sintering the body to provide the germanium-doped silica glass.

    Abstract: A method that provides a new way to embed rare earth fluorides into silicate (or germania-doped silica) glasses by means of solution chemistry. Embedding rare earth fluorides into a silicate (or germania-doped silica) glass comprises the following steps. First, form a porous silicate core preform. Second, submerge the preform into an aqueous solution of rare earth ions. Third, remove the preform from the solution and wash the outside surfaces of the preform. Fourth, submerge the preform into an aqueous solution of a fluorinating agent to precipitate rare earth trifluorides from the solution and deposit in the pores or on the wall of the preform. This is followed by drying.

    Abstract: In an optical communication and the like, a light amplifying optical fiber is capable of amplifying an optical signal having a wavelength in the vicinity of at least 1.57 to 1.62 nullm by a high gain. A cladding (5) is formed on the side of an outer peripheral portion of a core (1) to which erbium is added, and a refractive index of the cladding is smaller than that of the core (1). A relative refractive index difference nullnullnull of the core (1) with respect to the cladding (5) is made equal to 0.3% or larger, and also equal to 1% or smaller. While a composition of the core (1) is made of ErnullAl2O3nullGeO2nullSiO2, a composition of the cladding (5) is made of SiO2, erbium is added to the entire region of the core, and concentration of this erbium is selected to be 1,000 wtppm, and also a cut-off wavelength of the optical fiber is selected to be 1,400 nm. While the cut-off wavelength of the optical fiber is made constant, since the relative refractive index difference nullnullnull is selected to be an optimum value, a diameter of the core may become an optimum value. Lowering of the gain caused by a bending loss of the optical fiber can be avoided, and an erbium absorption amount per unit length of the optical fiber can be increased, and further, a gain per unit length of the optical fiber can be increased

    Abstract: A method for forming a GeO.sub.2 -doped SiO.sub.2 glass article by depositing glass particles to form a porous preform and then drying and sintering the porous preform. A precursor of SnO.sub.2 is also present in the reactant stream used to form the particles, whereby the reaction produces particles of glass that contain GeO.sub.2, SiO.sub.2 and SnO.sub.2. The presence of SnO.sub.2 in the particles reduces the reaction of GeO.sub.2 with chlorine to form GeCl.sub.4 during the drying step. The GeCl.sub.4 that would have formed would have either escaped from the porous preform or caused GeO.sub.2 to be re-deposited in an undesirable portion of the preform. The retention of GeO.sub.2 in the article is therefore enhanced.
