The polarization maintaining optical fiber, or preform therefore, can be of the panda type with a pedestal based on a multi-component silica glass doped with a thermal-expansion-coefficient-reducing dopant which can counteracts the thermal-expansion-coefficient-increasing side-effect of the refractive index-increasing dopant, such that when the preform is drilled to make the stress member channel in a heterogeneous region having both a pedestal portion and a cladding portion, the thermal expansion coefficients are sufficiently close to manage damage which could otherwise be caused by uneven thermal expansion caused by drilling heat. |
