The sleeve comprising one or more axial through-holes, and the etching apparatus comprising a first end cap with a central aperture disposed therethrough, the first end cap being attached to a first surface of the sleeve. The method further including exposing the sleeve to an acid solution such that a first portion of the first surface is exposed to the acid solution and a second portion of the first surface is not exposed to the acid solution. The first portion being adjacent to the central aperture when the sleeve is mounted in the selective etching apparatus, and the second portion being covered by the first end cap when the sleeve is mounted in the selective etching apparatus.

Abstract: A multicore optical fiber that includes a plurality of waveguiding cores disposed in a cladding. The plurality of waveguiding cores include one or more first waveguiding cores that have a first propagation constant and one or more second waveguiding cores that have a second propagation constant, where the first propagation constant differs from the second propagation constant. The one or more first waveguiding cores and the one or more second waveguiding cores are disposed in the cladding in a ring distribution and at least a portion of the ring distribution is arranged based on a quasi-periodic sequence having a plurality of sequence segments. Each sequence segment is determined based on a quasi-periodic function, has an order, and corresponds to an arrangement segment of a first waveguiding cores, a second waveguiding cores, or combinations thereof. The ring distribution includes at least one arrangement segment corresponding with a third-order sequence segment or higher of the quasi-periodic sequence.

Abstract: A multicore optical fiber that includes a plurality of waveguiding cores disposed in a cladding. The plurality of cores are situated adjacent to at least one other core with a core center to core center spacing being not larger than 10 times the radius of the average core, such that the greater than 10% of the light will couple from one core to the adjacent core over a propagating distance of 1 cm, along the fiber length so as to provide coupling between the adjacent cores and to enable quantum walk. The plurality waveguiding cores are disposed in the cladding in a ring distribution or at least a portion of the ring distribution.

Abstract: An optical fiber is provided that includes a fiber configured to transmit optical data in a plurality of modes or in a single mode; a core region in the fiber that comprises fluorine-doped silica; and a cladding in the fiber that surrounds the core region and that comprises fluorine-doped silica. The core region has a graded refractive index profile with an alpha of about 0.5 to 5. The core of the fiber may be set with a radius of approximately 6 to 50 microns. The cladding may also comprise one or a plurality of layers, including trench or moat regions of a relatively lower refractive index. Still further, an inner cladding may be doped with fluorine at a concentration greater than that in the core region. An outer cladding can comprise silica with fluorine at a concentration below or equal to that in the inner cladding.

Abstract: An optical fiber comprising a core region doped with a first alkali dopant and a second alkali dopant. The first alkali dopant has a first average core concentration of C1 and a first diffusivity D1. The second alkali dopant has a second average core concentration of C2 and a second diffusivity D2. An outer cladding region surrounds the core region. The diffusivities D1, D2 of the first and second alkali dopants satisfy the relation D1>D2. The average core concentrations C1, C2 of the first and second alkali dopants satisfy the relation 0.1≤C2/C1≤1.

Abstract: The vacuum-based methods of forming an optical fiber preform include applying a vacuum to a preform assembly. The preform assembly has at least one glass cladding section with one or more axial through holes, with one or more canes respectively residing in the one or more axial through holes. The opposite ends of the at least one glass cladding section are capped to define a substantially sealed internal chamber. A vacuum is applied to the substantially sealed internal chamber to define a vacuum-held preform assembly. The methods also include heating the vacuum-held preform assembly to just above the glass softening point to consolidate the vacuum-held preform to form the cane-based glass preform. An optical fiber is formed by drawing the cane-based glass preform. The same furnace used to consolidate the vacuum-held preform can be used to draw the optical fiber.
