    摘要: In the method for forming an optical waveguide according to this invention, an optical waveguide comprising a core of quartz as a main component, and a cladding layers surrounding the core is formed by deposition of glass fine particles by flame hydrolysis deposition and vitrifying the glass fine particle layers. This method includes a step of transiently increasing a feed amount of phosphorus to a flame burner in forming glass fine particle layers to be the cladding layers. Feeding phosphorus in this step for the first time after a glass fine particle layer is deposited without feeding phosphorus to the flame burner, whereby generation of foreign objects near the core dan be suppressed. The method for fabricating an optical waveguide according to this invention is for fabricating a core 132a or cladding layers 122 142 surrounding the core 132a by flame hydrolysis deposition and is characterized in that the glass fine particle layers are vitrified after the deposition of the phosphorus-content glass fine particle layer, whereby glass films 122a, 122b with a thickness of below 10 .mu.m are formed. This glass film forming step is repeated twice or more times to form the core or the glass layers to be the cladding layers surrounding the core. This invention can suppress inhomogeneous vitrified films and especially can make phosphorus concentrations in the cladding layers uniform. As a result, prapagation losses can be made small.

    摘要: In the first step, a fuel and raw material gases are fed to burner while flames from the burner scan a Si substrate. Synthesized fine glass particles are deposited on the substrate to form a first porous vitreous layer to be an under cladding layer. In the second step, the first porous vitreous layer is heated by the flames. A bulk density of an upper part of the first porous vitreous layer is raised to 0.3 g/cm.sup.3. Having a raised bulk density, this upper part functions as a shield layer against GeO.sub.2. In the third step, a second porous vitreous layer, to be a core layer, is deposited uniformly on the first porous vitreous layer. In the fourth step, the first and the second porous vitreous layers are sintered. In this case, the shield layer with a higher bulk density hinders the GeO.sub.2 component which has evaporated from the second porous vitreous layer from diffusing into the first porous vitreous layer.

    摘要: A method for producing an oxide glass thin film is provided, in which volatilization of additives in a porous film from which the thin film is formed is effectively suppressed, and which the oxide glass film has a desired arrangement of refractive index with a low optical loss. According to this method, glass fine particles mainly containing SiO.sub.2 with a first additive are deposited on a substrate to form a porous thin film. A gas containing a second additive is supplied to a first chamber and heated to a first predetermined temperature profile to provide a heated gas containing an oxide. After disposing the substrate in a second chamber communicated with the first chamber, the substrate is heated to make the deposited porous glass into transparent glass while controlling a temperature in the second chamber according to a second temperature profile. A carrier gas is flowed from the first chamber to the second chamber to transfer the heated gas and oxide from the first chamber to the second chamber during heating. The temperature of the first predetermined temperature profile is maintained higher than the temperature of the second predetermined temperature profile at the same time. In addition, the heated gas contains a component that is also present in the first additive.

The method is for producing an oxide glass thin film, in which glass fine particles mainly containing SiO.sub.2 with additives are deposited on a substrate to form a porous thin film and then heated to form a transparent glass film. In the method, vapor of oxides of additive components is mixed in an atmosphere in which the porous thin film is heated to form the transparent glass film, whereby stopping the volatilization of the additives in the porous film deposited, preventing diffusion of the additives added to a core layer, and preventing the volatilization of glass transition temperature lowering components of additives (P.sub.2 O.sub.5, B.sub.2 O.sub.3, GeO.sub.2, etc.). By these, a desired arrangement of refractive index may be obtained, and an oxide glass thin film may be obtained while lowering the optical loss such as the optical scattering, which could be caused by bubbles in an unsintered portion.
