Abstract
An original technique for manufacturing quartz optical fibers with an elliptical light-guiding core is proposed and tested. The dependences of the ellipticity of the light-guiding core on parameters of the manufacturing process—the temperature of the heating element of the high-temperature furnace and rarefaction inside the cylindrical tube preform—are studied. Test fiber samples are drawn and their optical properties are investigated.
