    Abstract: A glass optical waveguide filament preform is prepared by chemical reaction of vapor ingredients within a glass bait tube. As the reactants flow through the bait tube, a hot zone traverses the tube to cause the deposition of sooty reaction products in the region immediately downstream of the hot zone. A baffle tube extends into that end of the bait tube into which the reactants flow. The baffle tube, which traverses the bait tube along with the burner, ends just short of the hot zone so that no soot is deposited thereon. A gas flowing from the baffle tube creates a gaseous mandrel which confines the flow of reactant vapors to an annular channel adjacent the bait tube wall in the hot zone, thereby increasing deposition rate and efficiency.

    Abstract: A method of making solid glass articles by the flame hydrolysis technique. First and second layers of glass soot produced by a flame hydrolysis are deposited on the outside surface of a mandrel to form a porous preform. The refractive index of the soot particles of the first layer is greater than that of the soot of the second layer, and the soot of the first layer has a viscosity lower than that of the second layer. The mandrel is removed, and the soot preform is subjected to a high temperature whereby it is consolidated to form a dense glass blank. The glass surface tension and the relative viscosities of the inner and outer portions of the preform cause the aperture to close during the consolidation process. The resultant blank may be heated and drawn into a filament, or it may be sliced into optical windows, lenses or the like.CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONThis is a continuation of application Ser. No. 922,559, filed July 7, 1978, which is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 808,862 filed June 22, 1977, both abandoned.

    Abstract: Two gaseous raw glass materials containing dopants to provide different refractive indices and borne by an argon carrier are jetted from the central or inner and first concentric nozzles 11, 12 of a five tip burner 1; an argon shield is supplied through the second concentric nozzle 13, and hydrogen and oxygen are supplied through the third and fourth concentric nozzles 14, 15, respectively. Soot-like glass particles 4 are formed by flame hydrolysis and deposited on the lower end of a start rod 3 which is gradually rotated and withdrawn to thus grow a cylindrical preform 2. The intermixing of the particles formed from the two glass materials produces a preform having a substantially parabolic radial index of refraction distribution, which characteristic is retained in an optical communication fiber formed by sintering and drawing the preform.

    Abstract: An apparatus for rotatably mounting a web on a spool including two chucks, each carried by a shaft which is rotatably mounted in a mounting frame, and each having a mandrel axially delimited by a stop flange and on which the spool is releasably clamped. Each chuck has a stripping ring disposed around the mandrel between the stop flange and a spool to be received, and configured to be axially slidable therealong, and wherein the ring comprises an axially extending collar. An actuating device is mounted on the mounting frame and is coactive with the stripping ring to effect the axial displacement thereof away from the stop flange so as to strip the spool from the mandrel. The actuating device comprises a pressure member mounted for movement from a rest position to an operative position and having elements for grasping the collar of the ring at at least two points uniformly distributed over its periphery and pushing it away from the stop flange when in the operative position, and permitting the free rotation of the ring when in the rest position.

    Abstract: A refractory starting member is rotated and, at the same time, moved along the axis of rotation. A glass raw material for the formation of the core of a porous preform and consequently an optical fiber preform is introduced into a high temperature portion near the tip of a high temperature burner from a nozzle for the core disposed in alignment with the center of rotation of one end face of the starting member. The glass raw material blown out from the nozzle for the core are caused by the flames of the high temperature burner to react to produce glass fine particles, which are deposited on abovesaid end face of the starting member at the central portion thereof in its axial direction to form a porous core. At least one nozzle for spraying a glass raw material for the formation of the cladding of the optical fiber preform is disposed opposite to the end face of the starting member but a little deviated from the axis of rotation thereof, or disposed opposite to the peripheral surface of the porous core. The glass raw material for the cladding is sprayed from the nozzle for the cladding to the high temperature portion of the high temperature burner, and caused to react to form glass fine particles, which are deposited on the end face of the starting member on the outside of the porous core or on the peripheral surface thereof at the same time as the formation of the latter, forming a porous cladding. The porous preform thus obtained is moved into a high temperature furnace provided on the path of movement of the preform for the vitrification thereof into an optical fiber preform.

    Abstract: A multimode optical fiber waveguide with graded refractive index for lessening modal dispersion depends upon simultaneous grading of both P.sub.2 O.sub.5 and B.sub.2 O.sub.3 within an otherwise generally unmodified silica glass. P.sub.2 O.sub.5 is at a maximum in the axial core region, while B.sub.2 O.sub.3 is generally the only modifier in the peripheral core region. The defined profile, which depends critically upon P.sub.2 O.sub.5 content in the axial composition and somewhat less critically upon the B.sub.2 O.sub.3 peripheral composition content, is near optimum from the standpoint of mode dispersion and remains so for the entire useful range of carrier wavelength (generally defined as from 0.5 to 1.1 .mu.m). Numerical aperture for fibers of the invention are typically at a level of 0.3.
