  • Optical fibers with improved resistance to ingressing molecules
    Patent number: 7978946
    Abstract: An optical fiber includes a glass fiber having a glass core and a cladding which contains voids spaced apart from the core. The voids act as trapping sites for ingressing molecules from the surrounding environment, thereby reducing the effect of such molecules on the fiber's light-transmission properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 16, 2004
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2011
    Assignee: Verrillon, Inc.
    Inventors: Imtiaz Majid, Abdel Soufiane, Kanxian Wei, Gary Drenzek, Chih-Hao Wang
  • Optical fibers with improved resistance to ingressing molecules
    Patent number: 7343075
    Abstract: An optical fiber includes a glass fiber having a glass core and a cladding that contains voids that are spaced apart from the core, in contact with the core, or form a substantial portion of the core. The voids act as trapping sites for ingressing molecules from the surrounding environment, thereby reducing the effect of such molecules on the fiber's light-transmission properties.
    Type: Grant
