Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an optical fiber by carrying out one or more chemical vapor deposition reactions in a substrate tube, with the optical fiber exhibiting a low sensitivity to the hydrogen-induced attenuation losses at a transmission wavelength of 1550 nm. The present invention furthermore relates to an optical fiber comprising a cladding layer and a light-conducting core, which fiber has been obtained by using the present method.
