摘要： An optical fiber production method includes: drawing an optical fiber from an optical fiber preform; and cooling the optical fiber. When in the cooling process, the optical fiber is passed through a plurality of annealing furnaces and Equation (1) is held. A time constant of relaxation of a structure of glass forming a core in the optical fiber is τ(Tn). A temperature of the optical fiber at a point in time when the optical fiber is delivered into an nth annealing furnace from an upstream side is Tn. A fictive temperature of glass forming the core at the point in time when the optical fiber is delivered is Tfn. A fictive temperature of glass forming the core after a lapse of time Δt from the point in time when the optical fiber is delivered is Tf. 20° C.

摘要： An optical fiber apparatus is suitable to operate under irradiation, more particularly to mitigating the damage of a rare-earth-doped optical fiber element as part of an optical fiber assembly causes by irradiation. The irradiation mitigation attributes to a photo-annealing apparatus including at least a shorter wavelength photo-annealing spectral content, which is relative to that of a pump light source, for effectively photo-annealing the rare-earth-doped fiber element. Photo-annealing by such shorter wavelength light results in a fast and nearly complete recovery of radiation induced attenuation of the rare-earth-doped optical fiber element in the wavelength range from 900 nm to 1700 nm.

摘要： There is described herein a method and system for inscribing gratings in optical waveguides. The waveguides may be hydrogen-free, germanium-free, low germanium, low hydrogen, and a combination thereof. Such gratings written in hydrogen-free fibers are suitable for sensor applications in which the use of hydrogen for photosensitizing fibers is undesirable owing to their increased sensitivity to nuclear radiation. The grating are formed by at least one pulse having a wavelength comprised between about 203 nm and about 240 nm. The laser source may be a Continuous Wave (CW) laser source or a pulsed laser source generating at least one pulse having a width in the order of nanoseconds (109).
