Abstract :
The net deposition efficiency which describes the successful incorporation of germania in silica was studied by varying the GeCl4 flow rate while maintaining that of SiCl4 constant. Both theoretical and experimentally-derived net deposition efficiencies were determined. The radial and longitudinal homogeneities of the fabricated preform were also determined. EDX analysis was also carried out to confirm the germanium presence in the fabricated preform.
