Substrate/deposit high-temperature interactions taking place at the standard MCVD method, MCVD method combined with
the solution doping and sol-gel method are experimentally investigated on preform cores composed of (P₂O₅)/GeO₂/SiO₂
glasses and Al₂O₃/P₂O₅/SiO₂ glass matrices doped with Yb and Er ions. Effects of these interaction processes on the increase
of the core radius, the content of dopants in the core and attenuation of fibers are shown. Conditions under which the
interaction substantially affects the refractive-index profiles are found by comparing the theoretically estimated and
experimentally determined characteristics. Attenuation of optical fibers used in fiber-optic sensors and soliton fiber lasers
which have been fabricated on the basis of these results are shown. |
