Abstract
Elliptical and circular core low loss single mode fiber optic waveguides were fabricated in lengths exceeding 2 km using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. The typical loss measured at 0.82 pm wavelength was less than 3 dB/km in lengths approaching 2 km. A power ratio in orthogonal planes of polarization larger than 35 dB was measured on an elliptical core fiber >900 m long and 46 dB on a circular core fiber >200 m long.
