Abstract
A method for producing cladded preforms (composite rods) composed of high-purity soda-lime-silica glasses is described. Optical-attenuation measurements have been made on cladded fibres produced from such a preform over the wavelength region 600¿1100 nm. Results indicate that the incremental loss in producing a fibre by this technique is very small, and is mainly due to scatter.
