Abstract
This tutorial will review the requirement of key glass attributes and processes for optical fiber fabrication for both soft (multi-component) glasses, and high-silica based glasses. Examples will be given in each case on how the glass properties are tailored via composition and/or advanced processing for successful fiber optic applications. Article not available.
