ABSTRACT:
The quartz glass-made optical fiber of the invention is formed of the core portion and the cladding portion each doped with fluorine to decrease the refractive index, the concentration of fluorine being higher in the cladding than in the core, so that the core portion has a refractive index lower by 0.01 to 0.1% than that of an undoped fused quartz glass and the cladding portion has a refractive index lower by at least 0.2% than that of the core portion. By virtue of the fluorine doping throughout, the optical fiber is free from the drawbacks due to the oxygen deficiency in the fused quartz glass and the light transmission performance thereof is remarkably stable. A method for the preparation of the optical fiber is proposed including the steps of silica particle deposition by the flame hydrolysis of a silicon compound, doping with a fluorine compound and vitrification for each of the core and the cladding portions.
