    摘要: In the interest of producing high-strength splice connections between silica-based glass fibers a method of using a tri-particle flow of gases for flame fusion is disclosed. An outer relatively high-velocity flow of oxygen surrounds an intermediate, lower-velocity flow of chlorine or oxygen which in turn surrounds a central flow of H.sub.2, D.sub.2, NH.sub.3, or ND.sub.3.Particularly high strengths are achieved when a central flow of hydrogen or deuterium and an intermediate flow of chlorine are used in such a fashion as to heat fiber ends to be spliced to temperatures of 500 degrees C. and beyond only after these ends have been enveloped by chlorine.

    摘要: A cooler of an optical fiber draw tower, situated below a melting furnace for melting a preform for an optical fiber, for cooling the optical fiber drawn from the preform melted in the melting furnace, includes at least one heat exchanger installed with a predetermined length surrounding the optical fiber drawn from the melting furnace, for cooling the drawn optical fiber. The heat exchanger is formed of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) for taking electrical energy through one heat absorbing surface to emit heat to the other heat emitting surface and has a tubular shape in which the heat absorbing surface of the TEC surrounds the optical fiber drawn from the melting furnace along the drawing direction by a predetermined length, and the drawn optical fiber is cooled as it passes through the tubular TEC. Also, the cooler further includes an auxiliary cooler attached to the heat emitting surface of the TEC, for cooling the emitted heat. Therefore, the cooler can enhance the cooling effect, so that the drawing of the optical fiber can be sped up without increasing the height of the optical fiber draw tower.

    摘要: Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring a residual stress and a photoelastic effect of an optical fiber, which includes: a light source; a rotary type optical diffuser distanced from the light source in a predetermined distance for suppressing the spatial coherence of a light radiated in the light source; an optical condenser for condensing the radiated light passed through the optical diffuser into a spot where the optical fiber is located; a polarizer for polarizing the light passed through the optical condenser into a 45° linear polarized light from an axis of the optical fiber; a polarization analyzer, installed at 90° angle with respect to the polariscope and attached closely with the optical fiber, to prevent the penetration by the background image of the optical fiber; an optical fiber strain unit including a strain sensor for straining the optical fiber on the polarization analyzer toward a longitudinal direction and measuring the strain on the optical fiber; an object lens for magnifying the image of the light penetrated through the optical fiber; and a charge coupled device(CCD) array for measuring the penetration variation of the optical fiber caused from the strain caused by the optical fiber strain unit over the optical fiber.
