摘要:
What is disclosed includes OD-doped synthetic silica glass capable of being used in optical elements for use in lithography below about 300 nm. OD-doped synthetic silica glass was found to have significantly lower polarization-induced birefringence value than non-OD-doped silica glass with comparable concentration of OH. Also disclosed are processes for making OD-doped synthetic silica glasses, optical member comprising such glasses, and lithographic systems comprising such optical member. The glass is particularly suitable for immersion lithographic systems due to the exceptionally low polarization-induced birefringence values at about 193 nm.

摘要:
A fused silica glass and a fused silica article having a combined concentration of at least one of OH and OD of up to about 50 ppm. The fused silica glass is formed by drying a fused silica soot blank or preform in an inert atmosphere containing a drying agent, followed by removal of residual drying agent from the dried soot blank by heating the dried soot blank in an atmosphere comprising an inert gas and of oxygen.
摘要:
Microstructured optical fiber and method of making. Glass soot is deposited and then consolidated under conditions which are effective to trap a portion of the consolidation gases in the glass to thereby produce a non-periodic array of voids which may then be used to form a void containing cladding region in an optical fiber. Preferred void producing consolidation gases include nitrogen, argon, CO2, oxygen, chlorine, CF4, CO, SO2 and mixtures thereof.
