  • Method for making Ge-Doped optical fibers having reduced brillouin scattering
    Patent number: 5851259
    Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a Ge-doped optical fiber having reduced Brillouin scattering loss is made by modulating the tension applied to the fiber during draw. The draw tension is modulated between a low range 10-50 g and a high in the range 150-250 g. The result is SBS suppression with no significant change to end-to-end fiber loss or dispersion factors.
