Development of a Low Loss Optical Fiber with a Parabolic Profile.

Abstract

The objective of this contract was to develop the technique of Molecular Stuffing to produce low-loss parabolic index optical fibers. The concluding work under these contracts consisted of the following: Put into operation experimental profiling procedures to test the theory developed; institute a program for the measurement and characterization of measured index profiles in preforms and fibers in order to determine the modifications needed in the part above; measure physical properties of cesium nitrate solutions for a precise control of unstuffing bath concentration and its variation in time; and measurement of attenuation, dispersion, bending and scattering losses in our fibers.
