The invention belongs to the technical field of
optical communication, and particularly discloses a preparation method of an ultra-low attenuation
optical fiber and the ultra-low attenuation
optical fiber, and the preparation method comprises the steps: S1, preparing a
fluorine-doped sleeve with non-uniform
fluorine distribution through employing an external vapor deposition technology; s2, stretching and corroding the
fluorine-doped sleeve to obtain an inner cladding with a predetermined aperture; s3, SiO2 is deposited in the inner cladding layer by using an in-tube vapor
deposition process,
alkali metal doping is performed to form a core layer, the inner cladding layer with the core layer is melted and shrunk into a rod shape, and a rod-shaped structure is obtained; s4, preparing an outer cladding layer outside the rod-shaped structure through an external vapor
deposition process,
drying the rod-shaped structure with the outer cladding layer, and solidifying in a fluorine-containing
atmosphere to obtain an
optical fiber preform; and S5, drawing the optical
fiber preform to form the optical
fiber. According to the preparation method, external
chemical vapor deposition and in-tube vapor deposition are utilized to achieve better optical
fiber profile matching and
viscosity matching.
