Abstract
A process and apparatus for making silicon or silicon/germanium core fiber is described, which uses a plasma process with reducing agent to make preform. The process also makes the recommendations in selecting the adequate cladding tube for better fiber properties. An improved fiber drawing apparatus is also disclosed in order to draw this new type of preforms.
