On décrit également des poudres de fumées (2) dopées ou non dopées, des suies de silice poreuse ou des corps complètement densifiés obtenus grâce audit procédé.
Abstract:
An optical fibre waveguide is disclosed of the type comprising an outer cladding layer, an axially disposed core of SiO 2 doped with GeO 2 and a first inner cladding layer of SiO 2 doped with an oxide such as P 2 O 5 for lowering the preform processing temperature. A second inner cladding layer of pure Si0 2 is disposed between the first inner cladding layer and the core to prevent P 2 O 5 from diffusing into the core, thereby eliminating absorption losses from the P-O-H band in the 1.1-1.8 µm region.

The core is composed of silica glass doped with germanium and fluorine, with a diameter (a) of 8.0-8.8 µm, a relative refractive index difference (” 1 ) of 0.35-0.38%, and the contribution of fluoride (” F ) is -0.09 ± 0.02%. The inner cladding is composed of silica glass doped with germanium and fluorine, with a diameter (b) of 18-21 µm and a relative refractive index difference (” 2 ) of 0 ± 0.02%. The depressed cladding is composed of silica glass doped with fluorine, with a diameter (c) of 26-36 µm and a relative refractive index difference (” 32 ) at the external interface thereof is between -0.22 and -0.35%, and a relative refractive index difference (” 31 ) at the internal interface thereof is between -0.20 and -0.3 5%, and ” 32 ‰¤” 31 . The fiber is able to improve the fiber bending resistance, prevent the additional stresses generated by fiber bending from passing on to the core for avoiding the increase of attenuation, thereby effectively improving the mechanical properties and service life of the fiber.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating an optical fiber preform that comprises, from the center towards the periphery, a central core, intermediate cladding, a buried trench, and outer cladding, the method comprising the steps of: · prepaying a first rod constituting at least the central core, the first rod being prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a first tube; · prepaying a hollow second rod constituting at least the buried trench, the second rod being prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a second tube; and · fitting the second rod as a sleeve on the first rod.
Such a method serves to fabricate large-capacity fiber preforms while using deposition benches of small and/or medium deposition capacity.
Abstract:
Provided is an optical fiber having a large relative refractive index difference and a reduced transmission loss, as well as a manufacturing method therefor. An optical fiber preform (100), which is made of silica glass as the main element and which includes a core region having a relative refractive index difference of 2.0% or more and less than 3.0% on the basis of the refractive index of pure silica glass and a first cladding region provided around the core region and having a relative refractive index difference of -0.8% or more and less than -0.3% on the basis of the refractive index of pure silica glass, is drawn into a glass fiber. The glass fiber thus drawn is passed through an annealing furnace (21) installed below a drawing furnace (11), whereby the cooling rate of the glass fiber is restrained as compared with the case where it is cooled by air.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for preparing doped oxide material, in which method substantially all the reactants (B, D) forming the oxide material are brought to a vaporous reduced form in the gas phase and after this to react with each other in order to form oxide particles (P). According to the invention, said reactants (B, D) in vaporous and reduced form are mixed together to a gas flow (BD) of reactants, which gas flow (BD) is further condensated fast in such a manner that substantially all the component parts of the reactants (B, D) reach a supersaturated state substantially simultaneously by forming oxide particles (P) in such a manner that there is no time to reach chemical phase balances.
