摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the defined separation of a glass layer on an inner wall of a preform for an optical fibre and/or for setting a refractive index profile of a preform for a multi-mode fiber. In a cavity of the preform formed by the inner wall, a separating gas is guided at a flow speed (v), based on the separation, a change in the speed of the flow (I) forms at a volume flow (Q), the first diameter (di) and the second diameter (di + i). The separation is carried out at a reduced change in the flow speed a*Δv, wherein a

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a precursor of a primary glass preform, from which optical fibres can be made. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for making a primary preform for optical fibres by means of an internal plasma deposition process. The process comprises the steps of: providing a hollow substrate tube having a supply side and a discharge side; creating a first plasma reaction zone having first reaction conditions in the interior of said hollow substrate tube by means of electromagnetic radiation for effecting the deposition of non-vitrified silica layers on at least part of the inner surface of said substrate tube, at or near a reversal point at the discharge side, to provide a substrate tube having non-vitrified layers on at least a part of its inner surface. Subsequently a second plasma reaction zone is created having second reaction conditions in the interior of said hollow substrate tube by means of electromagnetic radiation for effecting the deposition of vitrified silica layers on said substrate tube having non-vitrified layers on at least a part of its inner surface. A substrate tube having deposited non-vitrified and vitrified silica layers is thereby obtained. The substrate tube having deposited non-vitrified and vitrified silica layers obtained is cooled to result in the said precursor for a primary glass preform.

A method for making an optical fiber preform having an ultimately low PMD (Polarization Mode Dispersion) through improvement of ovality is provided. This method has several collapse steps for collapsing an optical fiber preform having a clad/core deposition layer formed in a preform tube in which a rate of collapse is 0.01~0.06 mm/min at each collapsing step. By using this method, ovality and PMD of the optical fiber preform may be improved.
