    摘要: A fiber optic sensor for detecting at least one chemical by evanescent wave spectroscopy comprises a generator of a light signal, a mirror for introducing the light signal into a fiber, a clad optical chalcogenide glass fiber, a mirror for directing the light signal from the fiber into a detector, and a detector for detecting chemicals by the fiber. The fiber comprises a core and a clad having lower refractive index than the core enveloping and being in continuous contact with the core, at least one region on the fiber completely or partially devoid of the clad, and a polymer disposed in the region having affinity for the chemical(s). There being a different polymer in each region if there is more than one region.

    摘要: This invention pertains to optical waveguides which includes waveguides ofll shapes and sizes, preforms, and optical fibers made from the preforms, and to a method for making waveguides devoid of a physical interface. The method includes preparation of a waveguide from a halide-containing glass, heating the waveguide to a temperature below crystallization temperature of the glass so that it is still solid, providing a gaseous reactive medium containing halide ions of higher electronegativity than halide ions in the waveguide, exposing the waveguide to said reactive medium for a sufficient duration for the halide ions of higher electronegativity in the reactive medium to replace at least a portion of the halide ions of lower electronegativity in the waveguide, and cooling the waveguide whereby a lower refractive index is formed on the side of the waveguide exposed to the reactive medium than the refractive index internally of the waveguide so that light can travel through the portion of the waveguide having the higher refractive index.

    摘要: Glass free of surface carbon deposits, such as carbon film and/or carbon occlusions, and a process for removing such carbon deposits from glass. The process is characterized by the application of a plasma to glass to remove the carbon deposits. The plasma used for this purpose contains active specie which reacts with the carbon deposits to form gaseous carbon products.
