  • Abstract
    Optical fibres have been prepared using vapour deposition in inductively coupled plasmas. Both homogeneous and pseudoheterogeneous deposition of material has been promoted, with the heating effect derived from the plasma augmentation removing the need for subsidiary tube heating. Minimum fibre losses have been 4¿5 dB/km at 850 nm.
