Abstract: A method for forming an optical fiber includes drawing at a high draw rate, e.g. preferably > 10m/s the optical fiber from a glass preform and treating (annealing or slow cooling) the fiber by maintaining the optical fiber within a treatment temperature range for a short treatment time, e.g. 830 ° C/s and

Abstract translation: 用于形成光纤的方法包括以高拉伸速率拉伸，例如拉伸。 优选> 10m / s，并且通过将光纤维持在处理温度范围内来处理（退火或缓慢冷却）纤维，该处理温度范围短于处理时间，例如， <0-5 s。优选纤维以> 830℃/ s和<4000℃/ s的特定冷却速率冷却。光纤处理降低了由于瑞利散射引起的光纤增加衰减的趋势 ，和/或由于热老化而在光纤形成之后随着时间的推移。还提供了装置，并且包括马弗管或加热老化管，其直接位于拉丝炉出口的下游，优选地附接在该处，并被密封以防止环境空气进入 供应气体的方法，例如 他到拉丝炉和另一种气体，例如Ar和N2到马弗管或热老化管，用于退火或缓慢拉伸纤维。

Abstract: A method for forming an optical fiber includes drawing at a high draw rate, e.g. preferably ⊃ 10m/s the optical fiber from a glass preform and treating (annealing or slow cooling) the fiber by maintaining the optical fiber within a treatment temperature range for a short treatment time, e.g. ∫ 0-5 s.Preferably the fiber is cooled at a specified cooling rate of ⊃ 830 ° C/s and ∫ 4000 ° C/s.The optical fiber treatment reduces the tendency of the optical fiber to increase the attenuation due to Rayleigh scattering, and/or over time following formation of the optical fiber due to heat aging.Apparatus are also provided and comprise a muffle or heat-aging tube immediately downstream of the draw furnace exit, preferably attached there to and sealed to prevent entry of ambient air.Means for supplying gas, e.g. He, to the draw furnace and another gas, e.g Ar and N2 to the muffle or heat-aging tube for annealing or slow cooling the draw fiber.
