    摘要: Disclosed is a method for producing carbon-coated optical fiber including the steps of thermally decomposing a halogenated hydrocarbon compound to obtain a thermal decomposate of the halogenated hydrocarbon, and depositing the thermal decomposate on a surface of an uncoated optical fiber to form at least one carbon coating layer on the surface of the fiber. The halogenated hydrocarbon compounds include CClF.sub.3 , CCl.sub.2 F.sub.2 , CCl.sub.3 F, C.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 F and C.sub.2 ClF.sub.5. The deposition is performed at a temperature which is slightly below the thermal decomposition temperature. The method includes an optional step of coating at least one resin layer over a surface of the carbon coating layer.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing carbon coated optical fiber includes the steps of removing adherent foreign material from a surface of a bare optical fiber, and forming at least one carbon layer on the surface thereof using a chemical vapor deposition method. The first step is performed by heating and drying the surface of the bare optical fiber in a 80 to 150 degrees C. temperature region to vaporize the adherent foreign material while supplying an inert gas to the surface thereof so as to substitute the inert gas for the vaporized adherent foreign material. The second step is performed by thermally decomposing at least one hydrocarbon compound to obtain a thermal decomposate of the hydrocarbon, and depositing the thermal decomposate on the surface of the bare optical fiber. Also, disclosed is a method for manufacturing carbon coated optical fiber including the steps of cooling a surface of a bare optical fiber to a temperature no higher than 50.degree. C., and forming at least one carbon layer on the surface using a chemical vapor deposition method. The cooling step is performed by supplying a cooled inert gas to the surface of the bare optical fiber.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for the fusion splicing of carbon coated optical fibers and to a method for providing reinforced performance of the spliced points. Concretely, carbon coated optical fibers are fusion spliced in an atmosphere containing less than 0.5 vol % of oxygen without the removal of the carbon coating. In order to minimize the amount of damage to the carbon coating resulting from the fusion, the decline in the failure probability of the optical fiber is controlled by means of applying moisture to the spliced part or by means of the adhesion of the oxidized carbon gases to the optical fiber. On the other hand, the carbon coating layer which was removed by oxidation at the time of the fusion splicing is recoated by means of a CVD reaction using a laser as a heat source. By means of this, the decline in the fatigue characteristics of the spliced part can be controlled.
