ABSTRACT:
Reproducible doped optical fiber preforms having a predetermined dopant concentration level are fabricated by inserting a doped filament into a completed preform prior to consolidation and final collapse so that the filament and dopant materials are centrally located in the core region upon formation of the preform. Doped fiber is drawn from the doped preform using standard fiber drawing techniques.
