摘要:
A method for producing rare earth metal-doped quartz glass includes the steps of (a) providing a blank of the rare earth metal-doped quartz glass, and (b) homogenizing the blank by softening the blank zone by zone in a heating zone and by twisting the softened zone along a rotation axis. Some rare earth metals, however, show a discoloration of the quartz glass, which hints at an unforeseeable and undesired change in the chemical composition or possibly at an inhomogeneous distribution of the dopants. To avoid this drawback and to provide a modified method which ensures the production of rare earth metal-doped quartz glass with reproducible properties, during homogenization according to method step (b), the blank is softened under the action of an oxidizingly acting or a neutral plasma.

One aspect relates to a light guide comprising a jacket and one or more cores, wherein the jacket surrounds the cores. Each core has a refractive index profile perpendicular to the maximum extension of the core, wherein at least one refractive index nK of each refractive index profile is greater than the refractive index nM1 of the jacket. The jacket is made of silicon dioxide and has an OH content of less than 10 ppm, a chlorine content of less than 60 ppm, and an aluminium content of less than 200 ppb. One aspect also relates to a silicon dioxide granulate I, characterized by a chlorine content of less than 200 ppm and an aluminium content of less than 200 ppb, in each case based on the total weight of the silicon dioxide granulate I.

A method for producing synthetic quartz glass by fusion of SiO2 granulate involves synthesizing amorphous SiO2 primary particles, granulating the amorphous SiO2 primary particles to form an open-pore SiO2 granulate, sintering the open-pore SiO2 granulate by heating in a sintering atmosphere at a sintering temperature and for a sintering period to form a densified SiO2 granulate, and melting the densified SiO2 granulate at a melting temperature to form the synthetic quartz glass. To provide an inexpensive production of low-bubble transparent components of quartz glass despite the use of still open-pore SiO2 granulate, the sintering atmosphere, sintering temperature and sintering duration are adjusted such that the densified SiO2 granulate still comprises open pores but manifests a material-specific infrared transmission T1700 at a wavelength of 1700 nm. This transmission is in the range of 50-95% of the infrared transmission T1700 of quartz glass granules of the same material.
