Abstract
A preform element, its production, and fiber production methods from preform assemblies. The preform element has a length and a center axis along its length, a first and second end defined by its length and an outer preform element surface. The preform element includes a plurality of longitudinal structures disposed to form longitudinal hole(s) in a background material. At least one slot extending from its outer preform element surface and intersecting at least one of the longitudinal holes, wherein the at least one slot does not fully intersect the preform element. The preform element may be a preform center element or a preform ring element and may be assembled to a form part of a preform assembly for an optical fiber.
