    摘要: A porous glass optical waveguide preform is formed by depositing a coating of glass particulate material on the lateral surface of a core which may be a porous glass body continuously produced by the axial deposition of glass particles. The core rotates and moves longitudinally in one direction with respect to two flame hydrolysis burners which emit streams of glass particles having different compositions. In addition, the two burners reciprocatingly move with respect to a portion of the length of the core. The speed of each burner varies as it traverses along its path of reciprocating motion. The thickness of the layer produced by a burner at a given point is inversely related to the speed of the burner as it passes that point. The layers formed by the completion of a single traverse by both burners combine to form a conically-shaped layer, the composition of which varies from the base toward the apex thereof. The conically-shaped layer, which are adjacently located longitudinally along the preform, combine to form a cylindrically-shaped portion of the preform.

    摘要: A method of making low loss glass optical waveguides, wherein at least one coating of glass soot is deposited by the flame hydrolysis process on a starting member. The starting member is removed from the coating material or glass soot preform leaving an aperture therein, and a tube is secured to one end of the preform. While the preform is heated to its consolidation termperature, an atmosphere including a drying agent flows from the tube into the aperture and through the porous preform, thereby removing water from the preform while the soot is consolidated to form a dense glass article. The tube can be removed, and the resultant dense glass article can be drawn into an optical waveguide fiber.
