Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
These glasses incorporate a combination of F and Al2O3 to achieve even wider fluorescence and improved gain flatness. In addition SPCVD incorporates large , amounts of N into low-loss fiber whose high charge has an impact on rare earth behavior. The Surface Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (SPCVD) produces fiber preforms with high levels of F, Al2O3, and N. These heavily fluorinated glasses provide much broader Er3+ emission than Type I or Type II silica for enhanced multichannel amplifiers. SPCVD successfully fluorinates silica with losses below 5 dB/km and increased Er3+ emission width.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 11, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 11, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 11, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
