Fiber-Optic Communications James N. Downing Chapter 4 Fiber and Cable Fabrication 4.1 Optical Fiber Fabrication Fused Silica Glass Medium of choice for fiber communications Uses a silica soot that reacts with SiCl4 and produces GeO2. The GeO2 and P2O5 increase the refractive index. The preform is a single, glass rod of about 1m by 2cm with the refractive index of the finished fiber. 4.1 Optical Fiber Fabrication Deposition Preform Methods Rod-in-tube A tube with a higher index is inserted into a lower index tube and the two are melted to make the preform. Attenuation: 500 to 1000dB/km.
