Publication number: 20100189928Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical fiber preform includes the steps of depositing an inner cladding and a central core inside a fluorine doped silica tube and thereafter collapsing the silica tube to form a primary preform. The fluorine doped silica tube has a cross section area that is no more than about 15 percent smaller than the cross section area of the resulting primary preform. The present method facilitates reduced-cost manufacturing of a high-capacity optical fiber preform, which may be drawn to produce an optical fiber having reduced transmission losses.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2010Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: DRAKA COMTEQ B.V.Inventors: Cedric Gonnet, Elise Regnier, Frans Gooijer, Pascale Nouchi

Patent number: 7068899Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an optical fiber, which method comprises the following steps: i) providing a hollow substrate tube, ii) passing doped or undoped reactive, glass-forming gases through the interior of the hollow substrate tube, iii) creating such conditions in the interior of the hollow substrate tube that deposition of glass layers onto the interior of the hollow substrate tube takes place, wherein a non-isothermal plasma is reciprocated between two reversal points along the substrate tube, wherein the velocity of movement of the plasma decreases to zero at each reversal point, iv) collapsing the substrate tube thus obtained so as to form a solid preform, and v) drawing an optical fiber from said solid preform. In addition to that, the present invention relates to a preform for manufacturing an optical fiber, as well as to an optical fiber.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Draka Fibre Technology B.V.Inventors: Igor Milicevic, Frans Gooijer, Eric Aloysius Kuijpers, Dennis Robert Simons, Rob Hubertus Matheus Deckers
