Effects Of Sintering Atmosphere On Defects In SiO2:GeO2 Vad Fiber
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTEffects of the sintering atmosphere for 90SiO2 :10GeO2 preform-rods produced by VAD process were examined. The sintering atmosphere was changed from reducing to oxidizing, and the type and relative concentration of defects were estimated by photoluminescence, UV absorption and ESR absorption. Reducing condition accelerated the formation of defects, because these centers were considered to be the intermediate products of the thermal decomposition reaction of GeO2 which gives rise to reduction of Ge(IV) to Ge(II).
