Research and Development in Glass Technology Related to Fiber Optic Waveguides.
Abstract
It was the purpose of this effort to use certain basic research results which indicated that it was possible to produce from phase separated glasses optical waveguide fibers with attenuations below 20 dB/Km and numerical apertures greater than available by chemical vapor deposition methods. Before the specific NELC applications for this fiber could be realized in commercial production, certain process engineering steps had to be solved. These production problems and the effort on each are discussed in the report.
