Abstract:
Disclosed is a low-attenuation single-mode optical fiber having a photoconductive core and a clad, which shows very low OH concentration in MFD (Mode Field Diameter) region. The optical fiber includes a core positioned at its center for photoconduction, and a dehydrated clad and a base clad which are coated on the clad in order. The dehydrated clad has a substantially identical refractive index to the base clad. A refractive index of the core is greater than those of the dehydrated clad and the base clad. The dehydrated clad has a relatively lower OH concentration than the base clad. The region composed of the core and the dehydrated clad has an MFD region at which OH concentration is less than 0.8 ppb.

The present invention relates to a mixture for inhibiting the growth of algae which contains a ceramic powder for generating anions, and to an antifouling paint constituting an antifouling system employing the same, and it relates to a production method for such an antifouling paint. Specifically, the mixture for inhibiting the growth of algae of the present invention relates to a mixture for inhibiting the growth of algae which comprises tourmaline and monazite powders for generating anions, and zirconia for releasing stable anions from these ceramic powders, and also sulphur-metal soap for promoting the activity of the released anions. When an antifouling staff gauge was produced using the antifouling paint of the present invention and was then tested, it proved possible to solve the problem of the inability to read the markings of gauges due to the accretion of algae.
