Abstract
Fiber preform manufacturing methods such as the outside vapor-phase deposition (OVD) and vapor-phase axial deposition (VAD) processes produce intermediate porous bodies referred to as soot boules. These porous soot boules are opaque at visible wavelengths and cannot be characteized by conventional He-Ne laser index profiling.1
