Abstract
Single mode optical fibre for operation in the wavelength range 1.5 to 1.7 microns is made by first depositing an optically absorbing layer of silica doped with oxides of boron and/or phosphorus upon the bore of a silica substrate tube. The optical absorbing layer has a higher refractive index than silica, and on it is deposited a transparent optical cladding layer of matched index, and then a higher index optical core layer. The bore of the coated tube is then collapsed to form a solid cross-section optical fibre preform from which optical fibre can be drawn.
