  • Device and method for manufacturing an optical preform
    Patent number: 8499585
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for manufacturing an optical preform by means of an internal vapor deposition process, said device comprising an energy source and a substrate tube, which substrate tube comprises a supply side for supplying glass-forming precursors and a discharge side for discharging constituents that have not been deposited on the interior of the substrate tube, said energy source being movable along the length of the substrate tube between a point of reversal at the supply side and a point of reversal at the discharge side.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 6, 2013
    Assignee: Draka Comteq B.V.
    Inventors: Mattheus Jacobus Nicolaas Van Stralen, Martinus Johannes Marinu Jozeph Swarts, Igor Milicevic, Marco Korsten

  • Method of manufacturing a solid preform
    Patent number: 7069749
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a solid preform by moving a heat source parallel to the longitudinal axis of a substrate tube, whose inner surface is coated with one or more doped or undoped glass layers, so as to collapse the substrate tube into the solid preform in a number of passes, with an etchant being supplied to the interior of the substrate tube after a number of passes of the heat source.
