Description
本出願は、2014年10月21日付けで出願された米国仮出願第62/066,520号、及び2014年10月30日付けで出願された米国仮出願第62/072,606号(ともに引用することにより本明細書の一部をなす)の利益を主張するものである。
α=α0+A/λ4、
(式中、αはファイバに沿った減衰を示し、α0はオフセットパラメータであり、Aはレイリー散乱係数と定義され、1/λ4は波長依存性を定義するものである)。約0.86〜0.95dB/km×μm4の範囲のレイリー散乱係数が、これらの実験のファイバについて得られ、これらの値は、典型的なGeドープシリカファイバに関連する値より低いものであった。当然ながら、出力される光パワー効率を改善させる上で、散乱損失は小さい方が望ましい。
4(O1.5Si−O0.5[表面])+SiCl4→4(1.5OSiCl)+SiO2
半金属:GeO2+SiCl4→GeC14+SiO2
金属:Fe2O3+1.5SiCl4→2FeCl3+1.5SiO2
4(O1.5Si−OH[表面])+SiCl4→5SiO2+4HCl
として示される。
