A method for making a cordierite filter article, including:

Single-fire two-step soak method

Microstructured optical fiber for single-moded transmission of optical signals, the optical fiber including a core region and a cladding region, the cladding region including an annular hole-containing region that contains non-periodically disposed holes. The annular hole containing region is doped with at least one dopant selected from fluorine and chlorine. The optical fiber provides low bend loss as well as low heat-induced splice loss.

Bend insensitive fiber with reduced heat induced loss

A bridge fiber and a method of connecting two other dissimilar optical waveguide fibers is presented. The bridge fiber may be utilized to connect positive dispersion fibers or step index single mode fibers to compensative fibers, such as dispersion compensation fibers or dispersion-slope compensation fibers.

Method of connecting optical fibers, an optical fiber therefor, and an optical fiber span therefrom

The present invention provides an optical fiber suitable for the manufacture of optical fiber couplers and having low bend loss, low splice loss, and low attenuation. The optical fibers according to one aspect of the invention have bending loss of less than 0.5 dB at 1560 nm when wrapped 5 turns around a 20 mm mandrel; and an average fiber pull test loss of less than 0.1 dB in the wavelength range of 1530 nm to 1550 nm. The present invention also includes optical fiber components made from these optical fibers.

Low bend loss optical fiber and components made therefrom
