    摘要: A method for manufacturing an optical fiber preform and fiber. According to the method, a first glass rod is formed, preferably by an OVD method, with a refractive index delta preferably between 0.2% and 3%. A glass sleeve tube is formed, preferably by an MCVD or PVCD method. The first glass rod is inserted into the sleeve and an alkali metal vapor is flowed between the sleeve tube and the first glass rod. Additional glass may optionally be formed on the inside surface of the sleeve tube prior to inserting the first glass rod and flowing the alkali metal vapor. The additional glass may be up-doped, down-doped, or both. The sleeve may then be collapsed onto the first glass rod to form a second glass rod doped with an alkali metal oxide. The second glass rod is drawn to form a third glass rod. Additional glass may then be formed on the third glass rod to form an optical fiber preform from which optical fiber may be drawn. Alternatively, the first glass rod is removed from the sleeve tube after flowing the alkali metal vapor and before the collapse step, after which additional glass may be formed on the first glass rod to form an optical fiber preform.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus and precursors for producing substantially water-free silica soot, preforms and glass. The methods and apparatus make substantially water-free fused silica preforms or glass by removing water as a reaction product, removing water from the atmosphere, removing water from the transport process, or combinations thereof. In a first embodiment, substantially water-free soot, preforms or glass are achieved by using a hydrogen-free fuel, such as carbon monoxide, in the deposition process. In another embodiment, a soot producing burner has parameters that enable operation on a substantially hydrogen-free fuel. End burners, which minimize water production, are also described. Such water-free methods are useful in depositing fluorine-doped soot because of the low water present and the efficiency in which fluorine is incorporated. In another embodiment, glassy barrier layer methods and apparatus are described for minimizing dopant migration, especially fluorine. Laser and induction methods and apparatus for forming the barrier layer are depicted. A chlorine, fluorine and silica precursor, such as chlorofluorosilane, may be utilized to form fluorinated soot. Other methods and apparatus are directed to combinations of conventional and substantially water-free processes. One embodiment is directed to combustion enhancing additives for addition to the substantially hydrogen-free fuels. The methods and apparatus in accordance with the invention are particularly useful for producing photomask substrates and optical fiber preforms.

    摘要: A method for fluorinating a carbon compound or cationic carbon compound utilizes a fluorination agent selected from thermodynamically unstable nickel fluorides and salts thereof in liquid anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The desired carbon compound or cationic organic compound to undergo fluorination is selected and reacted with the fluorination agent by contacting the selected organic or cationic organic compound and the chosen fluorination agent in a reaction vessel for a desired reaction time period at room temperature or less.
