Embodiment 1

[0029] Example 1, preparing an ytterbium-doped optical fiber preform.

[0030] First, the substrate tube is etched, and the substrate tube is heated with a mixture of chlorofluorocarbons and chlorine gas to etch the inner wall surface of the substrate tube; then several to hundreds of layers of quartz glass cladding are deposited, that is, in Deposition of pure SiO in a quartz glass substrate tube 2 or SiO doped with P / F 2 layer; then in the temperature range of 1200 to 1400 ℃, continue to deposit GeO containing 2 and / or P 2 o 5 Quartz glass powder, the particle size range of the powder is 10 to 200nm; GeO in the core 2 The concentration is 15 mol%.

Embodiment 2

[0044] The main parameters of Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 are listed in Table 1. The difference between the two is that Example 2 uses microwave drying when removing free water, while Comparative Example 2 turns off microwave drying. The results of the refractive index profiles of the solid rods made by the two are as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown. Under the premise that the other main steps are exactly the same, the microwave drying is turned off Figure 6 There is obviously a sag in the center of the refractive index profile of Comparative Example 2, while Figure 5 It is not obvious in Example 2, and those skilled in the art can easily understand that the central sag of the section reduces the performance of the optical fiber (poor beam quality, low damage threshold, etc.), which proves that microwave drying is beneficial to improve the radial doping uniformity of the solid rod section.

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a uniformly-doped quartz glass rod. The preparation method comprises steps of deposition, solution immersion, dehydration, burning and high temperature collapsing. Dehydration comprises removal of free water in a quartz glass powder in a substrate tube and also comprises removal of chemical bonding water and hydroxyl group in the quartz glass powder. The substrate tube with a solution adsorbed thereon is firstly taken out and free water is removed by microwave radiation; and then, a gas mixture of Cl2 and O2 is introduced into the tube at 800-1200 DEG C to remove bonding water and hydroxyl group in the quartz glass powder. Flow of Cl2 is 2-10 times greater than flow of O2, and flow of Cl2 is greater than 50sccm. Then, burning is carried out. Finally, the substrate tube and the vitrified quartz glass powder undergo collapsing to form a transparent solid quartz glass-doped precast rod. According to the invention, dehydration time is shortened, unnecessary ion gasification loss is greatly minimized, and structural performance of the precast rod is more uniform. It shows through experiments that microwave treatment has an obvious effect of improving radial doping uniformity.
