摘要:
The present invention provides a method of making rare earth (RE) doped optical fiber using BaO as co-dopant instead of Al or P commonly used for incorporation of the RE in silica glass by MCVD and solution doping technique. The method comprises deposition of particulate layer of GeO 2 doped SiO 2 with or without small P 2 O 5 for formation of the core and solution doping by soaking the porous soot layer into an aqueous solution of RE and Ba containing salt. This is followed by dehydration and sintering of the soaked deposit, collapsing at a high temperature to produce the preform and drawing of fibers of appropriate dimension. The use of Ba-oxide enables to eliminate unwanted core-clad interface defect which is common in case of Al doped fibers. The fibers also show good RE uniformity, relatively low optical loss in the 0.6-1.6 μm wavelength region and good optical properties suitable for their application in amplifiers, fiber lasers and sensor devices.

The present invention provides a process for fabrication of ytterbium (Yb) doped optical fiber through vapor phase doping technique. The method comprises deposition of Al2O3 and Yb2O3 in vapor phase simultaneously in combination with silica during formation of sintered core layer. This is followed by collapsing at a high temperature in stepwise manner to produce the preform and drawing of fibers of appropriate dimension. The process parameters have been optimized in such a way that Al and Yb-chelate compounds can be transported to the reaction zone without decomposition and condensation of precursor materials. Thus variations of dopants concentration along the length of the preform have been minimized to

摘要:
The present invention relates to the development of novel soda lime silicate glass compositions comprising colemanite for energy efficient processing. The evaluated thermal, optical, and mechanical properties of the glasses indicate that these invented glasses are suitable for manufacturing superior quality flat glasses specifically for solar panel and container glasses with a significant reduction in batch melting temperature by around 150°C. The incorporation of B2O3 at its maximum level of 12.24 wt% for flat glass and 13.24 wt% for container glass compositions originating from the addition of colemanite with simultaneous substitution for limestone (CaCO3) up to 100% in the investigated glasses resulted in an energy efficient, cost effective and environment friendly glass melting process.

The invention is directed to energy efficient soda lime silicate glass compositions using borax pentahydrate. The invented glasses have the compositions in the ranges: B 2 O 3 = 7.19-51.74 wt.%, SiO 2 = 22.68-74.62 wt.%, Na 2 O = 13.0-23.5 wt.%, CaO = 0.0-10.5 wt.%, K 2 O = 0.03-0.3 wt.%, Al 2 O 3 = 0.15-1.3 wt.%, MgO = 0.43-4.0 wt.%, and Fe 2 O 3 +TiO 2 = 0.05-0.12 wt.%. The evaluated properties of the glasses have revealed that these invented glasses are suitable for manufa turing improved quality container glasses, float glasses and glasses for ophthalmic lens blanks as well. The addition of borax pentahydrate originated B 2 O 3 at its optimum level (28.5 - 30.3 wt.% B 2 O 3 ) is found to reduce the glass melting temperature by 150-200°C. This lowering of glass melting temperature substantially saves energy and reduces the production cost; hence the compositions are energy efficient and cost effectives. It eliminates the use of soda ash and limestone, so it reduces the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission and thereby global warming; thus these compositions are environmentally friendly as well.
