摘要:
This invention relates to a sintering furnace for the production of a quartz preform which can be used for carrying out dehydration, fluorine-addition and/or sintering of a porous quartz soot preform prepared by a flame hydrolysis method such as a VAD method or a OVD method, and in particular, to such a furnace in which joints in a long furnace muffle so long that fabricating it as open body is impossible can be maintained fully gas-tight, so that it is possible to prevent H.sub.2 O, O.sub.2 and other impurities in the air from entering the muffle from outside, and corrosive and poisonous gases in the muffle are prevented from leakage to outside the muffle. This sintering furnace has a muffle of high purity carbon, the inner wall and/or outer wall of which is coated with a gas-impermeable film, which muffle is a cylinder with an axis in the longitudinal direction and divided into a plurality of parts in the longitudinal direction, the parts each having the upper and lower ends finished so as to be flat and abutting adjacent parts sealed by a carbon gasket between them, and further has an air cylinder for pressing the parts together in the axial direction with a uniform force around the circumference of the muffle.

In an optical fiber coupler making apparatus which makes an optical fiber coupler by thermally fusing a plurality of optical fibers together by use of a heater and then elongating thus thermally fused part, the heater comprises a heating element which is made of zirconia and which has a slit for containing the optical fibers. The inner face of the heating element is preferentially heated due to a characteristic of its material. Consequently, if optical fibers are contained in the fiber receiving slit, then they can be thermally fused at a sufficiently high temperature in a short period of time, whereby reducing mingling of impurities into the optical fiber coupler. Therefore, the heating element made of zirconia is effective as means for preventing impurities from mingling from the outside thereof. Also, performances of the heating element can be maintained over a long period of time even if the optical fibers are thermally fused at a high temperature. Further, the evaporation of impurities, which may adversely affect characteristics of the optical fiber coupler, hardly occurs from the heating element.

The drawing method of the present invention uses a drawing furnace comprising a furnace muffle tube, a furnace body and a heater. According to the method, an optical fiber preform is inserted from the inlet of the furnace muffle tube, the optical fiber preform is melted by means of a heater, under a specified gas atmosphere, and is drawn toward the outlet of the furnace muffle tube by means of a specified drawing tension. The optical fiber preform and the drawing furnace used in this method both satisfy the condition of below-indicated formula (1): L/D≧8 (1) wherein L indicates the length of the furnace body in the drawing direction and D indicates the diameter of the optical fiber preform. Through this method, even for the case of drawing optical fibers having a large relative index difference between the central core and the cladding, optical fibers wherein residual amounts of lattice defects are sufficiently reduced and degradation of characteristics under a hydrogen atmosphere is sufficiently suppressed can be obtained efficiently and at low cost.
