ABSTRACT:
A method of transmitting light which has a substantial component having a wavelength below 300 nm includes passing said light through an optical fiber which has a core of synthetic fused silica containing between 500 and 1500 ppm water and a cladding of fluorine-doped synthetic fused silica. Apparatus employing such a fiber is also described.
