摘要： A glass composition to be softened is fed to a heating zone and is shaped continuously into a cylindrical component in a deformation zone, and the cross-sectional geometry of the component is determined. A feed device, a heating device, and a take-off device are provided, and a glass composition is supplied continuously by the feed device to the heating device, where it is softened, the component being formed from the softened glass composition by means of the take-off device under formation of a deformation zone. To produce a component with only slight deviations from the desired cross-sectional geometry and to provide a flexible apparatus suitable for this purpose, the glass composition is locally heated or cooled in at least one deformation area, which extends over only a part of the circumference of the deformation zone, as a function of a determined deviation of the cross-sectional geometry from a nominal geometry. Heating or cooling are provided, which act locally on at least one deformation area, which extends over only a part of the circumference of the deformation zone.

摘要： According to a prior art method for producing a cylindrical component comprised of silica glass, a cylinder comprised of a softened silica glass mass is drawn in a predetermined drawing direction along a drawing axis by means of a drawing device which acts upon said cylinder. The aim of the invention is to provide a method which prevents, to the greatest possible extent, warping of the drawn cylinder and other deviations from the ideal cylinder dimensions and to prevent, to the greatest possible extent, the outer surface of the drawn cylinder from being touched. To these ends, the invention provides that the drawing device comprises a plurality of guide elements which are arranged one behind the other along the drawing axis, and which can be displaced independently of one another in a drawing direction and in a direction opposite thereto. At least two of said guide elements which maintain an engaging distance from one another are simultaneously displaced, in a frictionally engaged manner, on the cylinder in a drawing direction and with an identical drawing speed. A device suited for carrying out the inventive method comprises a feed device, a heating zone and a drawing device by means of which a cylinder is drawn along a drawing axis and in a predetermined drawing direction with a controlled drawing speed. The drawing device comprises a number of drawing elements which are arranged one behind the other along the drawing axis and which can be displaced independently of one another in a drawing direction and in a direction opposite thereto.

摘要： In a known method for the production of a blank mold for optical fibers, a fluorine-doped SiO2 enveloping glass is produced on a core glass cylinder that rotates about its longitudinal axis, wherein a silicon-containing starting substance is fed to a plasma burner, said substance is then oxidized in a plasma flame assigned to the plasma burner to obtain SiO2 particles, the SiO2 particles are deposited by layers on the enveloping surface of the cylinder of the core glass cylinder in the presence of fluorine and sintered into the enveloping glass. The invention aims at providing an economical method, which builds upon the above-mentioned method, in order to produce a blank mold from which optical multi-mode fibers (52) can be obtained. In comparison with fibers (51) produced according to standard methods, said optical multi-mode fibers are characterized by high initial transmission in the UV wavelength range and good resistance with respect to brief UV radiation, more particularly in the 210-300 nm wavelength range. According to the invention, a plasma flame that irradiates an ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 214 nm with an intensity of at least 0.9 μW—determined on the basis of plasma flame intensity measurement—is used for the formation and deposition of the SiO2 particles on the core glass.

摘要： The aim of the invention is to improve a known quartz glass cylinder for the production of an optical component, comprising an inner drilling, which is mechanically machined to size and provided with an etched structure by means of an etching treatment, subsequent to the mechanical machining, such that in the application thereof for production of pre-forms and optical fibers, few bubbles arise along the boundary surface between core and sleeve. Said aim is achieved, whereby the etched structure comprises striations with a maximum depth of 2.0 mm and a maximum width of 100 μm. A method for production of such a quartz glass cylinder mechanically machined to size is characterized in that the mechanical machining comprises several serial removal processes with successively lower removal depths, whereby after the last removal process the inner drilling has sub-surface striations with a maximum depth of 2 mm and the inner drilling is subsequently subjected to an etching treatment such that an etching removal with a maximum depth of 50 μm is achieved.
