Abstract

An optical fibre capable of monomode transmission in, and having a wavelength of zero dispersion in, the 1.55 .mu.m window and having a core comprising silica and germanium dioxide and a cladding comprising silica is drawn from an appropriate preform at a temperature in the range from 1900.degree. C. to 2000.degree. C. Fibres thus produced have low loss compared with fibres drawn at higher temperature.
