摘要: Methods are known for producing an anti-resonant hollow-core fiber which has a hollow core extending along a fiber longitudinal axis and an inner jacket region that surrounds the hollow core, said jacket region comprising multiple anti-resonant elements. The known methods have the steps of: providing a cladding tube that has a cladding tube inner bore and a cladding tube longitudinal axis along which a cladding tube wall extends that is delimited by an interior and an exterior; providing a number of tubular anti-resonant element preforms; arranging the anti-resonant element preforms at target positions of the interior of the cladding tube wall, thereby forming a primary preform which has a hollow core region and an inner jacket region; and further processing the primary preform in order to form a secondary preform, including a process of elongating the primary preform in order to directly form the hollow-core fiber or to form the secondary preform. The aim of the invention is to achieve a high degree of precision and an exact positioning of the anti-resonant elements in a sufficiently stable and reproducible manner on the basis of the aforementioned methods. This is achieved in that a primary preform with an outer diameter ranging from 20 to 70 mm is used for the elongation process.

摘要: In a known method for producing a quartz glass component, a crystal formation layer containing a crystallization promoter is produced on a coating surface of a base body of quartz glass. Starting therefrom, to provide a method for producing a quartz glass component of improved thermal strength and long-term stability which displays a comparatively small deformation particularly also in the case of rapid heating-up processes, it is suggested according to one aspect that a porous crystal formation layer containing amorphous SiO2 particles is produced with a mean thickness in the range of 0.1 to 5 mm, and that a substance which contains cesium and/or rubidium is used as the crystallization promoter.

This is achieved in that while carrying out a process according to step (c), components of the primary preform made of quartz glass and/or parts surrounding the primary preform made of quartz glass are heated and softened together, wherein the quartz glass of at least one of the preform components and/or the quartz glass of at least one of the parts surrounding the preform contains at least one dopant which decreases or increases the viscosity of quartz glass.

摘要: Methods are known for producing an anti-resonant hollow-core fiber which has a hollow core extending along a fiber longitudinal axis and an inner jacket region that surrounds the hollow core, said jacket region comprising multiple anti-resonant elements. The known methods have the steps of: providing a cladding tube that has a cladding tube inner bore and a cladding tube longitudinal axis along which a cladding tube wall extends that is delimited by an interior and an exterior; forming a number of precursors for anti-resonant elements at target positions of the cladding tube wall; and elongating the primary preform in order to form the hollow-core fiber or further processing the primary preform in order to form a secondary preform from which the hollow-core fiber is drawn. The aim of the invention is to achieve a high degree of precision and an exact positioning of the anti-resonant elements in a sufficiently stable and reproducible manner on the basis of the aforementioned methods. This is achieved in that the formation of the anti-resonant element precursors includes the formation of elongated pressure chambers, each of which adjoins a wall that can be deformed under pressure and heat in the region of the target positions of the anti-resonant elements and which cause a section of the deformable wall to protrude in the direction of the cladding tube inner bore under the effect of pressure and heat, thereby forming an anti-resonant element or a precursor for same, while carrying out a process according to step (c).

摘要: Doped quartz glass components for use in a plasma-assisted manufacturing process contain at least one dopant which is capable of reacting with fluorine to form a fluoride compound, and the fluoride compound has a boiling point higher than that of SiF4. The doped quartz glass component has high dry-etch resistance and low particle formation, and has uniform etch removal when used in a plasma-assisted manufacturing process. The doped quartz glass has a microhomogeneity defined by (a) a surface roughness with an Ra value of less than 20 nm after the surface has been subjected to a dry-etching procedure as specified in the description, or (b) a dopant distribution with a lateral concentration profile in which maxima of the dopant concentration are at an average distance apart of less than 30 μm.
