Abstract
Drawing-induced defect centres are investigated in pure silica optical fibres drawn from the preforms consolidated in O2-including atmospheres. The drawing-induced E¿ centres decrease while the peroxy radicals increase with increasing flow rate of O2 into the consolidation furnance. The ¿-ray-induced loss of these fibres is also examined.
