摘要
Fluoride glass optical fibers are fabricated by minimizing the number of high-temperature operations. A tube comprising an external layer of a first fluoride glass of composition suitable to form the cladding of the fiber and an internal layer of a second fluoride glass of composition suitable to form the core of the fiber is prepared by a conventional rotational casting technique. Then, the internal layer is thinned by means of chemical etching at ambient temperature until the attainment of a ratio between the volumes of the two layers that corresponds to the ratio between the core and cladding diameters required for a single mode fiber, and the resulting tube is drawn.
