ORGANIC GERMANIA AND SILICA SOURCES FOR MAKING OPTICAL FIBER PREFORMS

Disclosed herein are methods for forming an optical fiber preform using organic silica and germania precursors. The method includes depositing soot composed of germanium dioxide and silica on a substrate, removing the substrate, conducting a dehydration step and one or more heating steps under an ox...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein are methods for forming an optical fiber preform using organic silica and germania precursors. The method includes depositing soot composed of germanium dioxide and silica on a substrate, removing the substrate, conducting a dehydration step and one or more heating steps under an oxygen-containing atmosphere to form the preform. Also disclosed are optical fibers drawn from the preforms produced herein.
