Abstract: An improved technique for assembling and drawing fiber from preforms is provided. In one embodiment, the technique involves providing a core rod assembly comprising a core rod and a bushing attached at an end of the assembly. The core rod assembly is inserted into an unsintered overcladding tube, and secured to the tube such that the core rod assembly is suspended within. The overcladding tube and the core rod assembly are heated to sinter the overcladding tube and thereby form a preform assembly. During the heating step, the bushing comes into contact with the interior of the overcladding tube, and, because the bushing has a larger diameter than the core rod, an annular gap is maintained between the core rod assembly and the interior of the overcladding tube. It is then possible to attach a draw handle to the preform assembly, place the preform assembly into a draw tower, and draw fiber from the preform assembly by an overclad during draw technique.

Abstract: A process produces a glass overcladding tube from a silica gel body. The process includes passing the gel body through a hot zone under conditions that cause partial sintering of the gel body and repassing the gel body through the hot zone under conditions that further sinter the gel body into a glass overcladding tube. A preform for an optical fibre, comprising core, cladding layer and overcladding tube is also disclosed; the overcladding tube being the sintered, sol-gel produced, silica tube obtainable by the disclosed and claimed process of sintering the silica gel body.
