    Abstract: In order to prevent an uncontrolled collapse of a quartz tube whose inner surface is being coated with a vitrifiable substance in making a preform or parison of an optical fiber, one or more streams of carrier gas entraining the ingredients of the coating substance through the quartz tube are supplemented by a stream of supplemental carrier gas whose flow is being continuously controlled to keep the overall mass-flow rate substantially constant. The outer tube diameter is photoelectrically monitored and incipient changes thereof are compensated by controlling a flow of additional carrier or inert gas which does not pass through the tube but joins the traversing gas flow at the tube outlet, inside a solids separator with a restricted exit aperture, to modify the pressure differential across the tube wall.

    Abstract: The method of surfacing the heater of a furnace for optical fiber drawing allows elimination of defects in the inner heater surface, which defects give rise to particle emission towards the preform. This is achieved by depositing a thin layer of a mixture of oxides compatible with the material composing the heater.

    Abstract: In order to produce a preform or parison from which an optical fiber can be drawn, a vitrifiable substance such as silicon chloride and a doping agent such as germanium chloride, for example, are fed in liquid form and at room temperature to a spray nozzle together with water or steam for continuous deposition on a relatively rotating and axially reciprocating inner or outer surface of a cylindrical support until that surface is covered with a heavy layer of as yet unvitrified hydrated silica admixed with the doping agent in proportions designed to provide a selected refractive-index profile. The resulting preform, after degassing and separation from the support if necessary, is freed from occluded water molecules by exposure to a flow of hot dehydrating gas which may contain anhydrous compounds and is thereafter collapsed into a solid rod and completely vitrified at high temperatures.
