Disclosed is a method for fabricating an optical fiber preform. The method includes: (a) growing a first soot preform on a starting member along a lengthwise direction of the starting member by a soot deposition; (b) dehydrating the first soot preform; (c) sintering the dehydrated first soot preform, to obtain a first glassed optical preform; and (d) elongating the first optical fiber preform by heating the first optical fiber with a heat source that excludes hydrogen, wherein the first glassed optical fiber is elongated by means of only a heat source that excludes the use of hydrogen.

The specification describes an improved optical fiber produced by a hybrid VAD/MCVD process. The core of the fiber is produced using VAD and the inner cladding layer has a depressed index and is produced using MCVD. In preferred embodiments, the optical power envelope is essentially entirely contained in VAD produced core material and the MCVD produced depressed index cladding material. Optical loss is minimized by confining most of the optical power to the VAD core where OH presence is low, as well as by maximizing the optical power in the un-doped silica region. The MCVD substrate tube material is essentially devoid of optical power.

There are provided a high-strength zirconia-containing inorganic fiber having excellent alkali resistance, oxidation resistance, catalyst function and/or catalyst-carrying function and a process for the production thereof. The zirconia-containing inorganic fiber is a fiber which is formed of a composite oxide phase comprising a first phase mainly formed of a silica component or silicon carbide and a second phase formed of zirconia, and it is characterized in that the ratio of Zr slopingly increases toward the surface layer of the fiber.

This process makes it possible to manufacture articles of any shape by stamping, in which articles the matrix of the alloy has to have a coarse-grained structure. According to the invention, a partial hot-forming operation is carried out by stamping a blank made of an oxide-dispersion-strengthened alloy, especially a nickel-based alloy, having an initial ultrafine-grained structure, in order to form a shaped component, this shaped component is subjected to a secondary recrystallization heat treatment so as to develop an abnormal grain growth, and then a new hot-forming operation is carried out by stamping in order to give the recrystallized shaped component the final shape of the article.
摘要:
A refractory dielectric body is heated with a plasma fireball at conditions which do not result in substantial removal of a surface portion of the body, yet which are sufficient to reduce both surface and bulk impurities. Typically, the body is treated with the plasma in the absence of simultaneous deposition of material onto the body. Advantageously, an isothermal, oxygen or oxygen-containing plasma is utilized. The invention is useful for reducing chlorine impurities by at least about 30% to a depth of at least about 10 .mu.m, with accompanying reduction of hydroxyl impurities. The invention thus provides a useful method for reducing the concentration of impurities that contribute to imperfections during the process of drawing fiber from an optical fiber preform, without requiring substantial removal of the surface of the preform.

This invention provides a method of increasing adhesion of radiation-cured, inner primary coatings on glass optical fibers. A glass optical fiber drawing tower has a controllable variable amperage electron beam for exposing different sections of a glass optical fiber with different amperage levels of electron beam radiation. The different sections of the glass optical fiber after being exposed to the selected amperage levels of electron beam radiation are then coated with an inner primary coating composition which is finally cured by exposure to actinic radiation. Later formed sections of the same glass optical fiber can be exposed to different amperage levels of electron beam radiation and then coated and cured. The different sections of the glass optical fiber which have been coated with an inner primary coating using this method demonstrate correspondingly different degrees of coating adhesion. Reduced levels of adhesion promoter are required for inner primary coating compositions when using this method.
摘要:
A method for making an optical layer including, a first pattern projected onto a radiation sensitive surface having a first charge. Radiant energy is used to locally change the surface charge, thereby producing local areas having a second charge. The surface is exposed to an optical media having a charge that attracts the optical media to the surface. A substrate (123) with an associated charge is passed in proximity to the surface having the optical media attached. The optical media detaches from the surface and is deposited onto the substrate. The substrate (124) is heated, thereby fusing the optical media to make an optical layer (202).
摘要:
In the continuous production of mineral wool nonwoven fabrics, fiber/gas/air mixtures (3, 4) produced by several shredding units (14 to 17) are directed onto collecting conveyor units (19, 21) with suction surfaces (c, d) running in a curve and being under suction pressure for the formation of a wool nonwoven fabric (25). In this case the arrangement is such that an imaginary suction surface, increasing in its size in the conveying direction, is assigned to each fiber/gas/air mixture formed by the individual shredding units (14 to 17), actually d is larger than c. As a result it is possible, in a space-saving method of construction and per collecting conveyor unit to produce mineral wool nonwoven fabrics from rock wool with constant suction pressure with bulk densities even under 25 kg/m.sup.3 in good product quality. By series connection of several units or an oscillating deposit of an individual nonwoven fabric multilayer felt webs can further be formed.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a technique for infusing and maintaining a gas-in-glass fiber. In the present technique, a length of an optical fiber, e.g., a single mode fiber, is placed in a pressure vessel with the ends of the fiber protruding from the vessel walls through seals. The vessel is then partially or fully filled with a medium, such as a gas or water, and the vessel sealed. In one embodiment, a container, including both the predetermined gas under pressure and a rupture disc in a container wall, is disposed within the vessel. Pressure is then applied to the sealed vessel until the rupture disc implodes and releases the gas for subsequent infusion. In a second embodiment, the predetermined gas is introduced into the vessel from an outside pressurized source until a first predetermined pressure is obtained within the vessel. A predetermined amount of additional pressure from a second pressure source is then supplied to the vessel until a second predetermined pressure is reached in the vessel. Once the final pressure is achieved by either embodiment, the vessel is maintained in this state.
