    摘要: Methods of forming an overclad portion of an optical fiber are described which include positioning a core cane member in an overclad tube to form a rod and tube assembly. Thereafter, glass soot pellets are positioned in the rod and tube assembly between the core cane member and an interior sidewall of the overclad tube. The rod and tube assembly is then redrawn under conditions effective to form the overclad tube and the glass soot pellets into a continuous, void-free glass layer surrounding the core cane member at a sintering time tsinter of at least 1800 seconds thereby forming an overclad portion of an optical fiber.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an optical fiber incorporating a volatile constituent, involving: (a) providing a preform comprising a cladding glass having an axial aperture and a core glass arranged in the axial aperture, wherein the working temperature of the core glass lies below the working temperature of the cladding glass; and (b) drawing the preform into an optical fiber at a drawing temperature that lies between the working temperatures of the core and cladding glasses and above the softening temperature of the cladding glass, wherein the core glass prior to drawing includes a dioxide or higher oxide compound of the volatile constituent having a Gibbs free energy of disassociation into a monoxide compound of the volatile constituent that is negative at the drawing temperature, whereby the dioxide or higher oxide compound tends to disassociate into the monoxide compound during drawing. The volatile constituent may be Sn or Pb. The method may also be adapted for incorporating P as the volatile constituent. With this method, the core material melts while the cladding glass remains solid but in a deformable state. Melting the core material, provides more freedom in the choice of combinations of core and cladding glasses. The starting material for the core may be a powder or a solid rod, i.e. the invention may be embodied as a powder-in-tube (PIT) or a rod-in-tube (RIT) method.

    摘要: The separate steps of forming an optical fiber preform and then drawing the fiber are combined into an essentially simultaneous process wherein a "stub" preform (18) is formed by means of the so-called "vapor-phase axial-deposition" method while the fiber (17) is simultaneously drawn from the end of the stub that is opposite to the end upon which the particulate matter (14, 15) is being deposited.

    摘要: Method of producing glass components and preforms for use in the method. The preform includes a primary rod having a constant outside diameter and a flat bottom portion, wherein the primary rod comprises a core rod surrounded by at least one outer cladding layer; and a cylindrical sacrificial tip having a first end attached to the flat bottom portion of the primary rod, a second end opposite the first end, and a hollow interior region extending fully from the first end to the second end, wherein the sacrificial tip is circular in cross section and the first end of the sacrificial tip has a constant inside diameter and outside diameter along its entire length from the first end to the second end, and wherein the constant outside diameter is equal to the outside diameter of the primary rod. When the preform is heated in a furnace, the sacrificial tip melts and collapses into a drawing bulb which either draws the primary rod directly into the glass fiber or results in a tapered (i.e. tipped) preform for subsequent fiber draw. Material waste as well as the drip time is reduced and the cladding-to-core ratio, crucial for waveguide properties, is maintained for the whole preform compared to a square cut preform without the sacrificial tip.

    摘要: Optical fiber preforms can comprise a glass preform structure with an inner cavity. A powder can be placed within the inner cavity having an average primary particle size of less than about one micron. The powder can be in the form of an unagglomerated particles or a powder coating with a degree of agglomeration or hard fusing ranging from none to significant amounts as long as the primary particles are visible in a micrograph. Powders can be placed within a preform structure by forming a slurry with a dispersion of submicron/nanoscale particles within a cavity within the prefrom. In other embodiments, a powder coating is formed within a preform structure by depositing the powder coating directly from a reaction product stream. The formation of the powder coating can be formed within the reaction chamber or outside of the reaction chamber by flowing the product particle stream through a conduit leading to the preform structure. In additional embodiments, a powder coating is placed on an insert, e.g., a glass insert, that is subsequently placed within a preform structure.
