Abstract
A dispersion control fiber and a method of manufacturing a large size preform are provided. In one embodiment, the dispersion control fiber comprises a core composed of SiO2, GeO2, P2O5 and Freon, and a cladding composed of SiO2, GeO2, P2O5, and Freon. The P2O5 content is selected not to exceed 10% of the total weight of a compound composing the core. An embodiment of the method of manufacturing a large size preform for a dispersion control fiber by an MCVD process comprises depositing SiO2, GeO2, P2O5, and Freon in an inner periphery of a deposition tube to form a cladding layer, and depositing SiO2, GeO2, P2O5 and Freon on an inner periphery of the cladding layer to form a core layer.
