Abstract
The rf plasma enhanced MCVD process has demonstrated encouraging results for high-rate preparation of lightguide preforms with excellent optical and dimensional properties in the resultant fiber. A second generation plasma facility has recently been constructed which incorporates improved design features including computer automation and control, a high-rate delivery system, and new rf plasma generation design features.
