    摘要: A method of making an alkali metal silicate glass includes preparing an alkali metal feedstock having a first desired level of alkali metal, the alkali metal feedstock being essentially free of an element that absorbs between 0.8 and 2.5 μm in any valence state. The method also includes combining and mixing the alkali metal feedstock with at least one silicate feedstock to form a precursor material having a second desired level of alkali metal and melting the precursor material to form molten glass.

    摘要: The invention includes inventive methods of treating a soot preform. One method includes heating a soot preform to a temperature of less than about 1000° C. and exposing the preform to a substantially halide free reducing agent. Preferred reducing agents include carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. Another inventive method of treating the preform includes exposing the preform, in a furnace, to a substantially non-chlorine containing atmosphere comprising carbon monoxide. The preform is heated to a temperature of at least about 1000° C. Preferably this method is incorporated into the process for making an optical fiber. An additional method of treating the preform includes doping the preform with fluorine and exposing the fluorine doped preform to a substantially chlorine free atmosphere comprising at least carbon monoxide at a temperature of at least 1100° C., thereby reacting excess oxygen present in the furnace.

    摘要: Glasses in the Ca—Al—Si system are useful in forming optical components for use in telecommunication systems. The glasses include, in mole percent: SiO2 present in an amount of about 6 to about 60 percent, Ga2O3, Al2O3, or a combination thereof present in an amount of about 12 to about 31 percent, and CaO present in an amount of about 20 to about 65 percent.
