An optical fiber preform includes: a columnar portion having an approximately constant radius of r; and a taper portion located adjacent to the columnar portion in a lengthwise direction and having a radius decreasing along the lengthwise direction. The taper portion includes: a first taper portion including a portion having a radius varying between 0.9r and 0.6r; and a second taper portion including a portion having a radius varying between 0.4r and 0.15r. A diameter of the first taper portion in the portion having the radius varying between 0.9r and 0.6r decreases so as to form a maximum angle θ1 between 40 degrees and 60 degrees with respect to the columnar portion, a diameter of the second taper portion in the portion having the radius varying between 0.4r and 0.15r decreases so as to form an average angle θ2 between 5 degrees and 30 degrees with respect to a central axis in the lengthwise direction, and a volume of the taper portion is smaller than or equal to 45% of a volume of a column having a same outer diameter as a maximum outer diameter of the taper portion and having a same length as the taper portion.

A manufacturing method that enables stably making a high-quality optical fiber is provided. The manufacturing method of the present invention comprises: a softened portion falling step in which an optical fiber preform is heated in a heating furnace and a dropping part of softened portion of the preform thus heat-softened is allowed to drop; and a drawing step for drawing the preform such that the softened glass is drawn into a fiber by applying a tension with a take-up means after the softened portion falling step, whereas the preform is rotated about its axis at the softened portion falling step.

An optical fiber base material machining method for forming spindle-shaped portions at ends of the optical fiber base material by severing the optical fiber base material after reducing an outer diameter of the optical fiber base material to a predetermined target outer diameter at a predetermined machining position, comprising: reducing the outer diameter to a predetermined intermediate outer diameter between the outer diameter before the machining and the target outer diameter at the machining position; flame polishing a surface of the optical fiber base material in a region including the machining position; and further reducing the outer diameter of the optical fiber base material.
摘要:
When drawing of a GRIN lens from a preform is started, wastage of the preform is reduced and the amount of time taken from the start of elongation of the preform to the start of winding is reduced. A preform, to a lower end of which a weight formed of silica is fused, is set in a heating furnace, and drawing of the preform is started by heating a fused portion where the preform and the weight are fused to each other. This can reduce wastage of the preform. Since an elongation speed of the preform is increased by the weight of the weight, the amount of time taken from the start of the elongation of the preform to the start of winding can be decreased.

A porous layer is formed by depositing a silica glass particle around a core rod. The porous layer is dehydrated. The dehydrated porous layer is sintered under a decreased pressure until the dehydrated porous layer becomes a translucent glass layer containing a closed pore. The translucent glass layer is vitrified under an ambient atmosphere including an inert gas other than a helium gas.
