  • Patent number: 12099233
    Abstract: The present invention provides a large-effective-mode-area low-loss optical fiber with optimized cladding components, which comprises a core layer and a cladding comprising, from the inside to the outside, a first sinking layer, a second sinking layer, an optional third sinking layer, and an outer cladding. In the present invention, phosphorus and aluminum are co-doped in the optical fiber cladding, to form a tetrahedron [AlPO4] in glass, thus optimizing the viscosity of the cladding while effectively reducing the refractive index of the cladding, without causing increased hydrogen loss. The process is simple, and highly repeatable.

  • Publication number: 20230174407
    Abstract: The application provides a method for automatically processing a conical tip of an optical fiber preform, including: step 10: suspending an optical fiber preform requiring conical tip processing on a suspension component, where the optical fiber preform moves downward vertically along with the suspension component; step 20: arranging a furnace body below the suspension component, where a preset depth is set inside the furnace body, and after the optical fiber preform moves to the preset depth inside the furnace body, the furnace body is heated; step 30: arranging an automatic cutting component below the furnace body, where a preset temperature is set inside the furnace body, after a temperature inside the furnace body reaches the preset temperature, a bottom of the furnace body is opened to make the optical fiber preform melt to form a conical tip, and the automatic cutting component cuts the molten conical tip.

  • Publication number: 20230167016
    Abstract: The present application provides a method for recovering and reusing quartz powder waste in an out-of-tube deposition process. The quartz powder recovered by this method meets the optical performance requirements for the preparation of an optical fiber preform rod having a functional cladding, reduces the production cost, and solves the problem of environmental pollution. Also, the present invention further provides a method for preparing an optical fiber preform rod by using the recovered quartz powder. The method reduces and simplifies the difficulty in the manufacturing of a core rod of a preform rod, and simplifies the difficulty in the manufacturing of some preform rods of special structures.
