Abstract
A method for manufacturing optical fiber with enhanced photosensitivity comprising the step of: forming a molten layer of glass and drawing a fiber from the molten layer of glass at a temperature of between about 1900° C. and 1995° C. Draw tension can be adjusted to attain the desired draw speed.
