    摘要: An optical fiber splicing method capable of fully reducing the splice loss at room temperature is provided. In the optical fiber splicing method in accordance with the present invention, respective end faces of optical fibers are fused together in a splicing step (S101). In a condition setting step (S102), a set value &agr;0 is set. Thereafter, a heating step (S103), a measuring step (S104), and a termination determining step (S105) are carried out repeatedly. In the heating step, a region including the fusion-spliced point is heated under a predetermined heating condition. In the measuring step, splice loss is measured. In the termination determining step, the splice loss &agr;n measured in the measuring step and the set value &agr;0 set in the condition setting step are compared with each other in terms of magnitude. If the splice loss &agr;n is not greater than the set value &agr;0, then it is determined that the alternation should be terminated, whereby the optical fiber connecting operation is terminated.

    摘要: In a process for producing an optical fiber preform, a starting member and a glass synthesizing burner are reciprocated relative to each other so that fine glass particles synthesized with the burner are deposited layer by layer on the starting member, and a heating power of the glass synthesizing burner in a nonsteady outside diameter portion at either end of the soot preform is adjusted to control the temperature of the nonsteady outside diameter portion at either end against local elevation. The starting member is formed of a transparent glass rod that is held within a vessel and rotatable about its own axis, the burner is fitted on a lateral side of the vessel at right angles to the rotating axis of the starting member and is movable towards or away from the starting member.

The starting rod and the glass particle synthesizing burners are relatively reciprocally moved to each other in parallel to the axial direction, so that glass particles synthesized by the burners are sequentially deposited on the surface of the starting rod. The movement is stopped and restarted repeatedly once or more than once during one reciprocal movement.

    摘要: A method for producing an optical fiber preform is provided in which the variation of the outer diameter in the longitudinal direction is minimized and a target quantity of glass is accumulated as a whole. Based on a predetermined relationship between three variables: the outer diameter of a starting rod being a first variable, the outer diameter of an optical fiber preform a second variable, and the timing for ending the glass particles depositing process a third variable, the starting rod and burners are subjected to relative reciprocating movement so as to deposit glass particles on the starting rod until the timing for ending the depositing process, and then the resulting deposit body is vitrified. The third variable may be the traverse velocity, the glass particles deposition time, or the weight of a soot glass deposit body.

    摘要: Three or more glass particle synthesizing burners are arranged to be opposed to a rotating glass rod. The glass rod and the glass particle synthesizing burners are reciprocated in parallel and relatively to deposit glass particles synthesized by the burners on the surface of the glass rod, thereby producing a soot body. The glass particle synthesizing conditions of the burners arranged at both ends are changed to have a greater deposition amount of glass particles per unit time in part or all of its movement range than other burners.
