Problems solved by technology

Through practical application, it is found that this method cannot effectively increase the size of the powder rod. When the outer diameter of the powder rod increases, the parallel part of the rod body is prone to cracking or fracture due to uneven radial density.

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparing method of a high purity quartz sleeve for a large-size optical fiber preform. The method comprises the steps of firstly, clamping a target rod or tube subjected to acid washing and drying on upper and lower chucks of an upright deposition device; adopting an upright sectional vapor deposition method, and introducing siloxane, oxygen, natural gas or methane or hydrogen gas, nitrogen gas as a raw material into a blowtorch, wherein after igniting, high temperature flame reacts to generate silicon dioxide powder with the particle size between 5-200nm, the powder is attached to the surface of the target rod or tube and finally achieves the set target rod size; then placing the silicon dioxide powder rod obtained by depositing into a graphite resistance furnace with the temperature being 1200-1600 DEG C, and introducing Cl2 and He with a flow ratio being (1-5) to (1-20) for vitrification sintering, thus obtaining a quartz sleeve preformed unit; performing mechanical cold machining on the quartz sleeve preformed unit to obtain the quartz sleeve; then adopting a weak base solution to wash, then repeatedly washing with deionized water, soaking with acid and finally washing with the deionized water and drying.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a high-purity quartz sleeve for a large-scale optical fiber preform. Background technique [0002] At present, in order to achieve full-wave transmission of optical fibers, the content of metal impurities and hydroxyl groups in optical fiber preforms should be as small as possible to avoid attenuation loss caused by metal impurities and hydroxyl groups, thereby meeting the market demand for low-loss optical fibers. At the same time, the competition in today's optical fiber preform market is becoming increasingly fierce. In order to further reduce production costs, larger-sized quartz sleeves are used to prepare large-size optical fiber preforms to improve production efficiency. Usually, a vapor deposition synthesis method is used to manufacture the quartz sleeve for the optical fiber preform, that is, the flame hydrolysis method SiCl 4 +2H 2 +O 2 → SiO 2 +4HCl. This method can obtain high-purity quar...
