  • Abstract
    In conclusion, we have reduced the imperfection loss of an optical fiber with a P2O5-SiO2 core and F-SIO 2 cladding by viscosity-matching the glasses at the interface between the core and cladding. We achieved a Rayleigh scattering coefficient as small as 0.67 dB/km μm4. The optical loss at 1.55 μm is 0.20 dB/km and the optical loss at wavelengths shorter than 1.3 μm is to our knowledge the lowest so far reported
