ABSTRACT:
Optical components using a germania-silica glass are made by a gel technique. Tetra pentyloxygermane and a silicon alkoxide are hydrolyzed to form a gel, which is subsequently dried. Optical components, including optical fibers and devices, can be made using glass prepared by this technique.
