Abstract :
Chlorine concentration profiles in silica fibres were studied by X-ray microanalysis and consideration of the chemical reactions concerned with chlorine in the fibre fabrication process. The chlorine content was proportional to the doped element contents. The Cl/Ge content ratio was larger than the Cl/Si or Cl/P content ratio.
