摘要:
A method for manufacturing an optical fiber comprises setting a heating condition for heating a glass rod, which is a parent material of the optical fiber, and an elongating speed of the glass rod based on a prescribed numerical value which changes with a progress of elongation of the glass rod; heating and elongating the glass rod to generate a preform based on the heating condition and the elongating speed which are set by the setting; and drawing the preform to a filament-like form by further heating the preform to generate the optical fiber.

In the manufacturing of optical fiber preform with excellent accuracy of outer diameter made of the rod as drawn from synthetic quartz ingot, the outer diameter measuring devices 67 and 68 measure the outer diameters of the cone 2 and rod 3 drawn from the ingot 1, and the drawing speed is controlled based on the measured outer diameters. The optical fiber preform manufacturing apparatus that finishes the rod into truly round form without any curve has a rotary holding means 13 and 14 that hold the rod 3 resulting from the heating and drawing of the ingot 1 rotating it in synchronization with the rotation of the ingot 1, a comparison device 18 that outputs a signal after comparing the outer diameter of the cone 2 as measured by the outer diameter measuring device 11 with that of the referential circle, a control device 19 that controls the rotational amount of the rotating device 10, and a control device 20 that controls the rotational amount of the rotary holding device 13 and 14.

A method for drawing a mother ingot into a preform for optical fibers comprises providing a mother ingot, subjecting the mother ingot to measurement of a distribution of refractive index along radial directions thereof to determine a ratio of a core diameter to a clad diameter, and comparing the thus determined ratio with a predetermined ratio between the core diameter and the ingot diameter which ensures intended optical transmission characteristics, under which if the determined ratio is insufficient for the intended light transmission characteristics, the mother ingot is further processed until the predetermined ratio is substantially attained, and the resultant ingot is drawn to a preform, or if the determined ratio is acceptable on comparison with the predetermined ratio, the mother ingot is finally drawn.
