    摘要: An optical fiber adapted to carry optical power for powering an electrical device and also optionally adapted to carry optical data for signal processing. The optical fiber capable of carrying both optical data and optical power includes a central data waveguide region that carries data light and an annular power waveguide region concentrically surrounding the data waveguide region and adapted to carry relatively large amounts of optical power. A first annular isolation region between the data and power waveguide regions and that includes microstructures serves to optically isolate the waveguide regions. An outer annular isolation region serves to confine power light to the power waveguide region and contributes to the bend-resistance of the optical fiber. An optical power and optical data distribution system that utilizes the optical fiber is also described.

    摘要: A method of making an optical fiber preform includes depositing silica glass soot on the inside of a substrate tube via a chemical vapor deposition operation. The silica glass soot is consolidated into silica glass under controlled conditions such that the consolidated silica glass on the interior of the substrate tube contains a non-periodic array of gaseous voids in a cladding region of the optical fiber preform. The optical fiber preform may be used to produce an optical fiber having a core and a cladding containing voids formed from the gaseous voids of the cladding region of the optical fiber preform. The core of the optical fiber has a first index of refraction and the cladding has a second index of refraction less than that of the core.

    摘要: A method for deposition glass soot for making an optical fiber preform. A fuel and a glass precursor are flowed to a burner flame forming glass soot which is deposited onto a glass target. By first depositing an insulating layer of glass soot with a low velocity burner flame, the amount of water which may be adsorbed into the surface of the glass target can be reduced. Thereafter, the flame velocity may be increased to increase the deposition rate of the glass soot without significantly increasing the concentration of water incorporated into the glass target.

    摘要: Disclosed is an alkali-doped optical fiber perform and method for making the same. A silica glass member, such as a rod or the like is heated in a furnace chamber at a temperature of less than 75° C. below the softening point of the glass rod in an environment containing an alkali metal vapor to form an alkali metal oxide doped glass rod. This method provides a peak concentration in the outer half portion of the silica glass member. The alkali metal oxide doped glass member may be overclad with additional glass to form an optical fiber preform ready for drawing into an optical fiber. Alternatively, the alkali metal oxide doped glass member may be inserted into a porous, glass soot optical fiber preform or inserted into a tube comprising solid glass.
