    Abstract: A vertically disposed apparatus used to make core-clad optical fibers inces an inner elongated cylinder removably closed at the top and provided at the bottom with an inner exit port of a smaller diameter than the inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, disposed around the inner cylinder, removably closed at the top and provided at the bottom with an outer exit port of a smaller diameter than the outer cylinder. The inner exit port is of a smaller diameter than the outer exit port and is disposed directly above the outer exit port. The apparatus also includes a heater for heating the inner and outer cylinders and acces to the inner and the outer cylinders for individually pressurizing inner and outer cylinders. The process by which the core-clad optical fibers are made includes the steps of placing a solid glass core rod into the inner cylinder of the apparatus described above, placing a solid glass cladding tube into the outer cylinder, melting the core rod and the cladding tube, quickly cooling the molten core rod and cladding tube to the drawing temperature, individually pressurizing the molten core rod and cladding tube, and drawing the core-clad optical fiber through the exit ports.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating defect-free optical fiber preforms without light scattering defects such as core-clad interface bubbles, core-clad crystalline inclusions and core glass crystals involves first forming a cladding glass shell preferably by rotational casting, then separately melting core glass inside a cylindrical crucible and quenching using metallic quenching blocks to prevent crystal formation in the core glass, next heating the core containing crucible to the core glass softening point and also heating the cladding tube containing mold to the glass transition temperature of the cladding glass, then placing the cladding tube containing mold inside the core glass crucible and pushing it downwardly with high pressure so that the softened core glass is forced into the cladding glass tube, and finally the preform is annealed to remove thermal stress. Subsequently, the preform is drawn into optical fibers using conventional technology.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of forming a glass preform from core and cladding glasses having low liquidus viscosities and narrow working ranges. A tube of liquid core glass is vertically situated in a vessel of liquid cladding glass. The tube extends to the bottom of the vessel where there is a stopper for preventing leakage of core glass. While both core and cladding glasses are at a temperature just above the liquidus temperature, the vessel is lowered into a coolant bath, thereby causing core glass to flow into the region vacated by the tube. The rate of withdrawing the tube from the vessel is sufficiently slow to provide laminar flow and yet fast enough to permit the resultant liquid core/clad composite to freeze before mixing occurs.

    Abstract: Improved fluoride glass optical fibers are produced by a process introducing several improvements in the production of fluoride glass preforms and the drawing of fibers therefrom. Reduced bubble formation and crystallization are obtained by vertically spinning a fluoride glass melt within a glass cladding tube at a high rotational speed, or alternatively, pouring a flouride glass core melt into a cladding tube while slowly raising the mold from an inclined position to a vertical position, or alternatively, introducing a core tube inside a cladding tube. The production of fibers is enhanced if at least one production phase, i.e., preform formation or fiber drawing, is conducted in an atmosphere containing reactive gases that scavenge molecules that could otherwise react with, hydrolyze and oxidize the fluoride glass. The disclosure also describes several devices uniquely useful in the process of the present invention. In another aspect of the present invention, fluoride glass fibers may be clad with a fluoropolymer which is coated with a polymerizable resin.
