Different standard commercial optical fibre samples (silica core with fluorine-doped cladding) were prepared by a modified chemical vapour deposition (MCVD) technique. Their surface and cross-section morphology were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Further, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize the compositions, and the chemical environment was also explored by investigating the chemical elements in the samples. The cladding fluorine content for the three fibres is 3.16 wt%, 2.16 wt%, and 1.85 wt% (for fibres A, B, and C, respectively). Moreover, the surface became smoother. Further, the fibre transmission loss corresponding to the fluorine content of 3.16 wt%, 2.16 wt%, and 1.85 wt% was 3.6dB/km, 2.830dB/km, and 2dB/km, respectively. These results indicate that the transmission loss decreases with decreasing fluorine content; thus, fluorine doping affects the optical glass fibre microstructure and transmission loss..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
