    摘要: A transparent glass preform for an optical fiber is produced by heating a glass soot preform to remove gas from the soot preform at a temperature at which the soot preform is not vitrified under reduced pressure, and then heating the preform at a temperature at which the preform is vitrified under reduced pressure, whereby the transparent glass preform containing no or little bubbles and having a uniform outer diameter is produced.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for precisely elongating a glass preform of an optical fiber body having a desired outer diameter. In this method, a predetermined part of the glass preform is elongated as tensile stress is applied to one end of the glass preform while a predetermined part of the glass preform is heated and softened successively from one end toward the other end of the glass preform. In this elongating operation, while the outer diameter of the softening portion of the glass preform is measured, the tensile stress is adjusted such that the outer diameter of the softening portion coincides with a preset value of the control outer diameter. In particular, this method is characterized in that the preset value of the control outer diameter is changed at least during a predetermined period until termination of elongation or during a predetermined period from the start of elongation.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an optical fiber in which the deviation of a cutoff wavelength from a design value can be minimized. It is found that, upon diameter reduction of a porous core glass body by heat treatment, when the diameter reduction ratio is set to a value larger than 0.90, a "spike" in the refractive index distribution curve of a core can be prevented, and the deviation of the cutoff wavelength from the design value can be minimized. Therefore, there is provided a method comprising the first step of depositing fine SiO.sub.2 particles and fine GeO.sub.2 particles, which are produced by a core formation burner, to grow a porous core glass body from a distal end of a rotating starting rod in an axial direction, the second step of performing diameter reduction by heating the grown porous core glass body by heating means while growing the porous core glass body, and the third step of depositing fine SiO.sub.2 particles produced by a cladding formation burner to form a porous cladding glass layer on an outer surface of the diameter-reduced porous core glass body while performing growing and diameter reduction of the porous core glass body, wherein an outer diameter of the porous core glass body after the third step of depositing is larger than 0.90 times an outer diameter before diameter reduction.

    摘要: In order to provide an improved process for the production of a glass preform for an optical fiber which includes substantially no bubble formation therein and also has a substantially uniform shape, the present invention provides a process for the production of a glass preform which is at least partially formed from silica. In particular, a body is formed on a rod by depositing fine glass particles thereon, preferably by the vapor phase reactions, and heating the body to vitrify under a reduced atmosphere or a vacuumed atmosphere so that the glass preform is produced. According to this process, the heating includes a first heating step of degassing the body at a first heating temperature, a second heating step of shrinking the body at a second heating temperature which is higher than the first heating temperature and which is lower than a third heating temperature, and a third heating step of vitrifying the shrunken body at the third temperature which corresponds to a vitrification temperature of the fine glass particles so as to produce the glass preform.
