Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a glass body that includes a multiplicity of constituents, at least one constituent being a first dopant having a first LVP precursor comprising the steps of: (a) generating a first aerosol comprising first particles of the first LVP precursor, each first particle consisting of the first LVP precursor of the first dopant; (b) separately generating vapors of the other constituents; generating steps (a) and (b) taking place at a location remote from a deposition system used to form the glass body; (c) convecting the aerosol of step (a) and the vapors of step (b) from the remote location to the deposition system, which includes a substrate; and (d) forming on a surface of the substrate at least one doped layer comprising the dopants contained in the aerosol and vapors convected in step (c).
