METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING OPTICAL FIBER PREFORM AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING OPTICAL FIBER PREFORM
Publication number: 20220306515Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical fiber preform includes a deposition step and an introduction step. In the deposition step, glass fine particles are generated from a glass raw material gas in a flame obtained by burning a flammable gas supplied to a burner, and the glass fine particles are deposited to produce a hollow porous glass preform. In the introduction step, a first gas is introduced into an inside of a hollow of the porous glass preform, and a second gas is introduced to an outside of the porous glass preform. In the method, at least one of the first gas and the second gas is a gas containing halogen. In the gas introduction step, the gas containing halogen is introduced so that a first partial pressure of the first gas and a second partial pressure of the second gas are different from each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Applicant: SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Takahiro SAITO, Sotaro IDA, Hiroki INOUE -
