Abstract: The invention relates to an optical fiber, in particular a laser fiber, containing a doped glass fiber core (1) and cladding (2) around the latter with a refraction index profile which decreases outwards from the fiber core. The optical fiber is distinguished by at least one intermediate layer (3, 4, 5) being disposed between the glass fiber core and the cladding to reduce the mechanical tension therebetween. In one advantageous embodiment, the intermediate layer is doped in such a way as to ensure a stepped mechanical tension distribution between the glass fiber core and the cladding, and is co-doped in such a way as to reduce the refractive index and counteract the refraction index-increasing effect of the intermediate layer doping. The invention further relates to an application of at least one doped barrier layer to a core region during preparation of the preform to avoid diffusion of special core dopants from the core during the collapse process, and to allow the diffusion of special dopants between the barrier layer and the core layer.

Abstract: Methods for producing a semifinished part for the manufacture of an optical fiber are disclosed. The methods are optimized in terms of bending. The methods include the steps of providing a shell tube with a shell refractive index which is lower in relation to the light-conducting core. Then, at least one protective, intermediate and/or barrier layer is applied to a radially outermost and/or innermost tube surface of the respective shell tube, wherein a build-up of light-conducting layers is realized on the inner side and/or the outer side of the shell tube. Finally, the shell tubes are joined by collapsing so as to form the semifinished part.

Abstract: An optical fiber has a core region, a cladding region and at least one spacer layer disposed between the core region and the cladding region. The core region is positively doped and has a positive refractive index with respect to the glass matrix of the optical fiber. The cladding region is negatively doped and has a refractive index of at most zero with respect to the glass matrix. The numerical aperture of the optical fiber is composed of variable proportions of the positively doped core region and the negatively doped cladding region and results from the refractive indices of both regions.
