Description
The limit of the Rayleigh scattering and total losses in silica fiber was determined from the results of the Rayleigh scattering and structural relaxation measurements. Annealing condition during fiber drawing was optimized, and much potential to reduce the Rayleigh scattering loss has been verified. Total loss can be reduced below 0.15 dB/km at 1.55 μm, for example, even when annealing time is 0.1 s. Total loss below 0.14 dB/km can be realized by increasing the annealing time
