    摘要: A mist is formed by an ultrasonic generator (5) from a liquid solution containing a dopant, and the mist is inserted into the tube blank to be doped (4) by means of a flexible pipe (2) in order to deposit microdrops on the inside surface of said tube blank. The flexible pipe is withdrawn progressively so that deposition takes place along the entire length of the tube blank. The deposit is dried and a new layer of glass is deposited thereon. The dopant from the deposit is heat diffused into the glass of the tube blank and of the new layer of glass. The invention is particularly applicable to fabricaitng rare-earth-doped silica preforms for the purpose of drawing optical fibers that can be used to constitute lasers or sensors.

    摘要: A method of fabricating preforms for making optical fibers by drawing, in which a silica deposit, including a doping agent, is formed in successive layers inside a silica-based tube (1) from a chemical vapor containing a gaseous compound of silicon, oxygen, and a gaseous compound of an element for doping the silica, with the composite tube then being subjected to collapsing so as to cause the empty axial zone (3), the tube hollow, to disappear. The silica of the initial tube is then eliminated, by removal, after which a recharge of silica (5) is made around the remaining cylinder (4) by plasma torch deposition from a gas comprising oxygen and a halogen derivative of silica.

    摘要: The blank is made from a tube of silica with a layer of other glass coated on its inner surface. The said other glass is doped with P.sub.2 O.sub.5 for example to increase its refractive index. The blank is then reduced in diameter from a tube to a rod by heating a region of the tube while it rotates in a glassmaker's lathe. The heated region is moved back and forth along the length of the tube until it is finally reduced to a rod. One effect of the moving heated zone is to evaporate some of the doping material, and the vapour tends to move along the tube ahead of the heated zone until it is eventually shifted out of the ends of the tube. To minimize this loss the back and the forth movement of the heated zone includes a sudden step forward at the end of each pass before returning in the opposite direction. This has the effect of jumping the heated zone ahead of the escaping doping material which is then pushed back along the bore of the tube for the next pass, with the jump-ahead-and-reverse operation being repeated at each reversing point of the back and forth heated pass to conserve as much of the doping material as possible inside the tube and finally within the resulting glass fibre blank.
