Zusammenfassung:1. Field of Invention The present invention includes a method of making a preform for an enhanced photosensitive fiber comprising depositing successive layers of optical material the inside a tube using modified chemical vapor deposition, and collapsing the layers of optical material in a reducing atmosphere with a positive pressure. The present invention also includes a method of making an enhanced photosensitive fiber comprising making a preform using modified chemical vapor deposition wherein the preform is collapsed in a reducing atmosphere with a positive pressure and drawing the preform into a fiber.
