Influence of the drawing process on the defect generation in multistep-index germanium-doped optical fibers
2009
International audience; Variation of germanium lone pair center (GLPC) concentration in germanosilicate multistep-index optical fibers and preforms was studied using confocal microscopy luminescence technique. The experimental results provide evidence that in the central core region ([Ge] ~11 wt. % ) of our specific canonical samples the ratio [GLPC]/[Ge] is five times larger in fiber than in preforms. The relative influence of the glass composition and of the drawing process on the generation efficiency of the GLPC defects that drive the glass photosensitivity is discussed. The radial distribution of these defects suggests a possible enhancement of the defect creation related to the intern…
Optical properties of chlorine-and oxygen-related defects in SiO$_2$ glass and optical fibers
2018
International audience; Photoinduced processes involving chlorine molecules in synthetic silica were studied. Interstitial Cl$_2$ in SiO$_2$ are prevented from VIS/UV photolysis by cage effect. However, they react with oxygen interstitials yielding photosensitive ClClO molecules absorbing at 264nm.
