    摘要: Two gaseous raw glass materials containing dopants to provide different refractive indices and borne by an argon carrier are jetted from the central or inner and first concentric nozzles 11, 12 of a five tip burner 1; an argon shield is supplied through the second concentric nozzle 13, and hydrogen and oxygen are supplied through the third and fourth concentric nozzles 14, 15, respectively. Soot-like glass particles 4 are formed by flame hydrolysis and deposited on the lower end of a start rod 3 which is gradually rotated and withdrawn to thus grow a cylindrical preform 2. The intermixing of the particles formed from the two glass materials produces a preform having a substantially parabolic radial index of refraction distribution, which characteristic is retained in an optical communication fiber formed by sintering and drawing the preform.

    摘要: An optical multiplexing/demultiplexing apparatus in which a plurality of optical multiplexing/demultiplexing units operating in different wavelength bands are connected hierarchically. Each of the plurality of optical multiplexing/demultiplexing units includes an input waveguide for receiving wavelength multiplexed optical waves, a filter for separating the wavelength multiplexed optical wave from the input waveguide into a first optical wave in a corresponding operating wavelength band and a second optical wave in the other wavelength bands. Each of the multiplexing/demultiplexing units also includes an AWG optical multiplexer/demultiplexer for separating the first optical wave from the filter into individual optical waves each of a single wavelength, and a branch waveguide for directing the second optical waves from the filter to an input waveguide of a succeeding optical multiplexing/demultiplexing unit.

    摘要: Halides of Si and Ti, B, P, or Ge and oxygen or steam are introduced into a reaction vessel and heated in a vapor phase to form fine glass particles by oxidation or hydrolysis. The fine glass particles are deposited on a substrate. The deposited fine glass particles are heated and vitrified into a transparent glass layer, which is etched to form a core having a desired pattern by a reactive sputter etching process using Freon gas. The core is coated by a clad. In a waveguide thus formed, the cross sectional configuration and dimensions of the core layer and the refractive index difference are precisely controlled. The waveguide is manufactured with good reproducibility. The fabrication method is suitable for mass production of waveguides. An expansion coefficient transient layer is provided between the core layer and the substrate to prevent a crack in the waveguide. The glass softening temperature of the cladding layer is set lower than that of the core layer, so that the cross sectional configuration and dimensions of the core layer is unchanged against the heat in the vitrification process of the cladding layer. The refractive index is reduced in the vicinity of the boundary between the core and clad to prevent the loss of light due to light scattering on the core side faces.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a glass core rod and a cladding layer clothing the glass core rod applied successively or continuously by using a carbon dioxide gas laser. A refractory mandrel is heated by means of carbon dioxide gas laser irradiation and a mixed gas of oxygen and pure silicon tetrachloride vapor and a dopant compound vapor is ejected to the refractory mandrel so as to deposit silicon oxide and oxide of the dopant compound on the mandrel and to form a glass core by fusing it. Further heating is applied by irradiation by the carbon dioxide laser beam on the glass core and a mixed gas oxygen and pure silicon tetrachloride vapor and a dopant compound vapor or of oxygen gas and pure silicon tetrachloride vapor to deposit silicon oxide and oxide of the dopant compound or silicon oxide on the glass core to form a cladding layer of fused silica or fused silica containing the dopant. The preform thus formed by the glass core and the cladding is heated above the softening temperature of the preform so as to spin to form an optical fibre. The method uses laser beam heating which results in less degree of contaminating impurity and water content which might cause absorption and scattering of light also to manufacture an optical fiber having less variation at the boundary of the glass core and the cladding layer.

    摘要: A refractory starting member is rotated and, at the same time, moved along the axis of rotation. A glass raw material for the formation of the core of a porous preform and consequently an optical fiber preform is introduced into a high temperature portion near the tip of a high temperature burner from a nozzle for the core disposed in alignment with the center of rotation of one end face of the starting member. The glass raw material blown out from the nozzle for the core are caused by the flames of the high temperature burner to react to produce glass fine particles, which are deposited on abovesaid end face of the starting member at the central portion thereof in its axial direction to form a porous core. At least one nozzle for spraying a glass raw material for the formation of the cladding of the optical fiber preform is disposed opposite to the end face of the starting member but a little deviated from the axis of rotation thereof, or disposed opposite to the peripheral surface of the porous core. The glass raw material for the cladding is sprayed from the nozzle for the cladding to the high temperature portion of the high temperature burner, and caused to react to form glass fine particles, which are deposited on the end face of the starting member on the outside of the porous core or on the peripheral surface thereof at the same time as the formation of the latter, forming a porous cladding. The porous preform thus obtained is moved into a high temperature furnace provided on the path of movement of the preform for the vitrification thereof into an optical fiber preform.
