摘要:
A method for producing a glass preform for optical fibers in which fluorine is efficiently incorporated into the preform without incorporation of Fe or Cu. A fine glass particle mass, made primarily of quartz, is converted into transparent glass by heating it in a gas atmosphere containing at least a fluorine-based compound gas and a chlorine-based compound gas. The preferred heating range is 1,100.degree. to 1,400.degree. C.

A method for producing a glass preform for an optical fiber comprising a core and a cladding containing fluorine is fisclosed. The method comprises forming a porous glass layer of substantially pure quartz on an outer surface of a fused glass rod consisting of a central portion of substantially pure quartz and a peripheral portion of quartz glass containing fluorine, and heating a composite of the fused glass rod and the porous glass layer in an atmosphere containing fluorine to add fluorine to the porous glass layer and to make it transparent, by which contamination of glass with hydroxyl groups can be prevented and light transmission characteristics of an optical fiber fabricated from the glass preform are improved.

摘要:
An improved process for the production of optical fiber porous preforms of predetermined refractive index distribution by the vapor-phase deposition method is disclosed wherein a glass material and a dopant material are subjected to flame oxidation by the use of an oxyhydrogen burner to form fine glass particles which are deposited on one end of a supporting rod adapted to move apart from the oxyhydrogen burner while rotating to allow a rod-like porous preform to grow thereon. The improved process is characterized in that the correlation between the shape of the deposition face and the refractive index distribution is previously determined mathematically, and on a basis of the correlation therebetween, a process variable such as the distance between the porous preform and the burner is adjusted to produce the desired shape of the deposition face whereby there can be obtained an optimum refractive index distribution.
