Embodiment 1

[0053] Embodiment 1. The temperature of the sintering furnace 9 was raised to 1150° C., and the chlorine gas pneumatic valve was opened to feed chlorine gas into the sintering furnace, and the flow rate of the chlorine gas was controlled at 0.8 L / min. Turn on the lowering rod system, control the descending speed of the powder preform at 5 mm / min, and control the rotation speed at 6 rpm. After the rod of the powder preform arrives at the hot zone 9 of the sintering furnace, the dehydration is completed, the falling of the powder preform is stopped, and the chlorine gas is turned off. The temperature of the sintering furnace 6 was raised to 1400°C, and helium gas was introduced into the sintering furnace 9, and the flow rate was set at 6 L / min. After 15 minutes, deuterium gas is introduced into the furnace core tube 12, and the flow rate is controlled at 0.1L / min. After the deuterium and helium are fully mixed, they enter the quartz furnace core tube 12 and react with the powder...

Embodiment 2

[0055] Embodiment 2, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the flow rate of chlorine gas is controlled at 1.2L / min during the dehydration process. During the feeding process of the mixed gas of helium and deuterium, the flow rate of deuterium is controlled at 0.15L / min. The deuterium and helium are fully mixed in the gas buffer box and then enter the quartz furnace core tube to react with the optical fiber preform at a rate of 12mm / min. Raise the preform to the initial position at a speed of . The number of bubbles inside the obtained optical fiber preform and the relevant parameters after being drawn into an optical fiber are as follows:

[0056] The number of bubbles with a diameter greater than 2mm

Embodiment 3

[0057] Embodiment 3 is different from Embodiment 1 in that the vacuum pump is turned on during the sintering process to control the ambient pressure of the optical fiber preform to between 450-500 mbar. Start the lowering rod system, and control the lowering speed of the preform rod at 4.5mm / min. The number of bubbles inside the obtained optical fiber preform and the relevant parameters after being drawn into an optical fiber are as follows:

[0058] The number of bubbles with a diameter greater than 2mm

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an integrated sintering and degassing equipment for a loose body optical fiber preform and a method for manufacturing a single-mode optical fiber preform, specifically a vitrification and degassing of a loose body optical fiber preform Simultaneous apparatus and methods thereof. Using this method to manufacture optical fiber preforms, on the one hand, can shorten the manufacturing cycle, improve equipment utilization, and at the same time greatly reduce the amount of helium, thereby reducing the production cost of optical fiber preforms; Less, high pass rate and stable performance. Background technique [0002] Among the existing manufacturing methods of optical fiber preforms, axial vapor deposition (VAD) and external vapor deposition (OVD) are two processes with high cost for preparing low water peak optical fiber preforms. It is well known that the manufacturing methods of these two low water peak optical fiber pre...
