Embodiment 1

[0105] Set the temperature required for each stage on the temperature control cabinet 13, then install the powder preform 7 above the quartz suspender 4, send it into the furnace, and sinter according to the sintering method of the preform described above. A laser beam with a wavelength of 850nm and a power of 5.0mw is emitted from the laser transmitter 15, and the signal acquisition unit in the laser control cabinet 24 collects the laser power P' at the receiving end every 5s, and calculates the power difference ΔP =5mw-P'. Here, the upper limit value ΔPmax of ΔP is set to 4.5mw, and the lower limit value ΔPmin of ΔP is set to 3.5mw.

[0106] When the lower tail handle of the preform reaches the horizontal position of the laser, the laser senses the preform and enters the working state. When the ΔP value exceeds ΔPmax, the laser control cabinet sends a signal to the temperature control cabinet 13, requiring it to lower the furnace temperature by 10°C; when the ΔP value is lo...

A laser beam with a wavelength of 850nm and a power of 5.0mw is emitted from the laser transmitter 15, and the signal acquisition unit in the laser control cabinet 24 collects the laser power P' at the receiving end every 5s, and calculates the power difference ΔP =5mw-P'. Here, the upper limit value ΔPmax of ΔP is set to 4.2mw, and the lower limit value ΔPmin of ΔP is set to 3.8mw.

[0109] When the lower tail handle of the preform reaches the horizontal position of the laser, the laser senses the preform and enters the working state. When the ΔP value exceeds ΔPmax, the laser control cabinet sends a signal to the temperature control cabinet 13, requiring it to lower the furnace temperature by 5°C; when the ΔP value is low...

Description

technical field [0001] A method and equipment for sintering an optical fiber preform according to the present invention relate to the field of sintering an optical fiber preform, specifically, a laser feedback control system is used to adjust the temperature of the sintering furnace in real time during the sintering process, so as to realize the control of the sintering process. A method and device for closed-loop control. The method can be used to adjust the temperature of the sintering furnace in real time during the sintering process, so as to effectively control the transparency of the preform and prevent the preform from being opaque after sintering due to improper setting of the sintering temperature of the sintering furnace. Background technique [0002] At present, during the process of sintering the preform in the sintering furnace, its temperature is mainly controlled by a temperature controller. The temperature controller pre-sets several stages and assigns a con...
