Abstract :
Transmission-loss characteristics of Al2 O3 -doped silica fibers have been investigated to develop an Al2 O3 alternative dopant for VAD silica-based optical fibers. Optical properties of Al2 O3 -doped silica bulk glass and fibers were measured in the 
m spectral region. From the experimental results, the intrinsic loss due to glass material was estimated for Al2 O3 -doped silica fibers. The calculated intrinsic loss minima for Al2 O3 -doped silica fibers with 0.2- and 1.0- percent relative refractive-index differences were 0.17 dB/km at 1.548 μm and 0.28 dB/km at 1.565 μm, respectively.
