Abstract: A method of making an erbium-doped optical fiber for use in optical amplifiers according to the present invention includes the step of providing a substrate tube. High purity silica-based cladding layers are deposited on the inside of the tube. A core glass that includes silica, Al, a non-fluorescent rare-earth ion, Ge, Er, and Tm is then deposited in the tube. The non-fluorescent rare-earth ion may be La and the core may further include F. The tube is then collapsed to form a preform. Finally, the preform is drawn to yield optical fiber. The core glass may be substantially homogeneous. The core may include at least two regions, wherein one region contains a substantially different Er to Tm ratio than the other region. Said regions may be in an annular arrangement. The core of such a waveguide may be made with multiple MCVD passes, multiple sol-gel passes or with multiple soot deposition, solution doping, and consolidation passes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a glass article for use as an optical waveguide fiber and more particularly to an optical waveguide fiber, the core of which is doped with a chalcogenide element to significantly increase the refractive index of the core. The subject of this invention is novel doped silica core compositions wherein a portion of the oxygen in the silica is replaced with either sulfur, selenium or tellurium using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). These compositions are designed to have higher refractive indices than silica, low coefficients of expansion, high optical transparency, and appropriate viscosity and softening points to make them ideal candidates for use as optical waveguide fibers.

Abstract: High-silica glasses are formed by sintering a dried gel at temperatures below the liquidus. The gel may be formed by mixing colloidal silica particles or silica-containing liquids with appropriate liquids. Fragmentation of the gel during drying is advantageously avoided by redispersing the dried gel or sol in a liquid to yield a colloidal suspension which is then gelled, dried, and finally sintered below the liquidus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an MMF with a structure for relaxing wavelength dependence of transmission bandwidth. In the MMF, a doping amount of a dopant for control of refractive index is adjusted, so as to make each of an OFL bandwidth at a wavelength of 850 nm and an OFL bandwidth at a wavelength of at least one of 980 nm, 1060 nm, and 1300 nm become not less than 1500 MHz·km, make the OFL bandwidth at the wavelength of at least one of 980 nm, 1060 nm, and 1300 nm become wider than the OFL bandwidth at the wavelength of 850 nm, and effectively suppress increase in transmission loss.
