Abstract
Germanosilicate optical fiber having substantially higher GeO/GeO.sub.2 ratio than conventional comparison-fiber is disclosed. The fiber has a loss at wavelength of 330 nm of at least 30 db/m.mole % GeO.sub.2. Such fiber can be advantageously used for making in line photorefractive Bragg gratings and other photorefractive fiber components. Fiber according to the invention can be produced by an inside deposition process (e.g., MCVD, PCVD), by an outside deposition process (e.g., VAD, OVD), or even a sol/gel process, and embodiments of the general method of making fiber according to the invention are disclosed.
