    摘要: A fused silica article having a combined concentration of hydroxyl (OH) and deuteroxyl (OD) concentration of less than 10 parts per million (ppm) and, in one embodiment, less than 1 ppm. The fused silica article is formed by drying a soot blank in a halogen-free atmosphere comprising carbon monoxide. The dried soot blank may optionally be doped to reach target levels of OH and OD concentrations and improve homogeneity within the fused silica article. The dried soot blank is then oxidized and, sintered to form the article. A method of reducing the combined concentration of OH and OD to less than 10 ppm is also described.

    摘要: The invention relates to fiber optics and can be employed in fiber radiation collimators, optical waveguide couplers, spectral filters, optical isolators, long-period gratings, dispersion compensators, cascade mode field diameter conversion fibers on simulated Raman effect, physical value sensors, radiation suppression units for predetermined wavelengths, and for smoothing the gain spectrum in erbium fiber amplifiers. The invention facilitates fabrication of optical waveguides and apparatuses based on them. To produce preforms for optical waveguides (1) by a plasma chemical vapor deposition method, molecular gaseous agents, fed to a substrate tube (24), are mixed so that less than five atoms of oxygen fall on every atom of silicon and more than one atom of nitrogen falls on every 1000 atoms of oxygen. The refractive index is locally changed by heating a length of an optical waveguide (1). This causes a local thermal diffusion of elements contained in a core (3) into a cladding (2), or vice versa. The length of the optical waveguide (1) is heated by current of an electric arc (10) or by radiation (16) of an infrared laser (15). The core (3) is doped with nitrogen at concentration from 0.01 at. % to 5 at. %. In the mode field diameter conversion fiber, a diameter of the core (3) changes along the length of the optical waveguide (1), increasing towards its end (4).
