    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a single crystal according to a CZ method, including: pre-examining a correlation between an Al/Li ratio in a quartz raw material powder used for producing the quartz crucible, a use time of the crucible, a devitrification ratio at the use time, and occurrence or nonoccurrence of melt leakage attributable to the devitrification part; setting a range of the devitrification ratio of the quartz crucible in order not to generate the melt leakage, and determining a maximum use time of the quartz crucible according to the Al/Li ratio so as to fall within the set range of the ratio, on the basis of the correlation; and growing the single crystal by using the quartz crucible in the range of the maximum use time. This provides a manufacturing method which can efficiently use a quartz crucible to grow a single crystal while preventing occurrence of melt leakage.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical filter material made of doped quartz glass, which at a low dopant concentration exhibits spectral transmission as high as possible of at least 80% cm−1 for operating radiation of 254 nm, transmission as low as possible in the wave range below approximately 250 nm, and an edge wavelength λc within the wave range of 230 to 250 nm. It was found that this aim is achieved by doping comprising a gallium compound, which in the wave range below 250 nm has a maximum of an absorption band and thus determines the edge wave range λc.

    Abstract: An improved method is proposed for the preparation of a semiconductor silicon single crystal of N-type by the Czochralski process, which is free from the problem of occurrence of delayed OSFs as defects in the single crystal even after prolonged storage at room temperature based on the discovery that presence of a certain amount of aluminum in the melt of silicon contained in a fused silica glass crucible acts to suppress occurrence of delayed OSFs as a type of defects in the single crystal while copper as an impurity acts adversely in this regard. With a known fact that an about 30 .mu.m thick inner surface layer of the crucible is melted down into the silicon melt during the single crystal pulling-up process, namely, the invention proposes use of a crucible of which the inner surface layer of 30 .mu.m thickness contains aluminum in an average concentration of 40 to 500 ppm by weight while the content of copper is as low as possible not to exceed 0.5 ppb by weight. Alternatively, when the fused silica glass crucible is deficient in the content of aluminum, an amount of aluminum is introduced as a dopant into the melt of silicon in the crucible to supplement the content of aluminum in order to be sufficient to suppress delayed OSFs.

    Abstract: Manufacturing method of doped silica glass suitable for optical fiber wherein quartz powder or SiO.sub.2 glass fine particles are exposed to a gas for producing the doped silica glass containing SiCl.sub.4, a gaseous additive and water vapor (H.sub.2 O) to add the dopant to the glass body, and then the resulting glass body is fused at a high temperature, thereby producing a transparent doped silica glass in which the production of the glass particles, the addition of the dopant, and the vitrification of the glass body are carried out by separate steps under respective suitable conditions. The manufacturing speed is remarkably increased because of the separate steps. The content of the dopant is not limited, but can be adjusted with any desired amount by changing the reaction time of dissolution. Dopant components like PbO.sub.2, SnO.sub.2, ZnO which were typically not added to the glass body can now be added thereto. Also, a method of manufacturing an optical fiber preform is disclosed wherein the doped silica glass is deposited and fused on a starting material which is inclined by an angle within a range of 5.degree.-90.degree. with respect to a blow-off direction of the flow of the doped silica glass to form a transparent doped silica glass body having a uniform outer diameter and a uniform boundary surface at a high synthesizing speed. This latter method aids mass production of optical fibers at low cost.
