In the fabrication of quartz glass fibers for optical communication, fluorine doping gets increasing importance. In contrast to other dopants, fluorine influences the deposition of SiO 2 in Modified Chemical Vapour Deposition. An equation is derived from considerations of equilibrium chemistry which yields the deposition efficiency of SiO 2 as function of fluorine doping. It is compared with experimental results.
