Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and equipment for preparing a pure silicon core cladding fluorine-doped ultra-low loss optical fiber preform, which relates to a powder body obtained by vapor deposition method, and the cladding is doped with fluorine to prepare a pure silicon core A method for cladding a fluorine-doped ultra-low loss optical fiber preform. Background technique [0002] An optical fiber preform is the raw material for optical fiber manufacturing, and it usually consists of a core layer and a cladding layer made of materials with different refractive indices. Silica is the main matrix material for manufacturing optical fiber preforms, and the refractive index of the core layer is increased by doping germanium in the core layer n core , so that the core refractive index is greater than the pure silicon cladding refractive index n siO2 , so as to meet the total reflection condition of optical fiber transmission, that is, to achieve a ...

Problems solved by technology

However, in actual production, due to the structure of the dense layer, if the density is high, it is not conducive to the dehydration of the loose body, resulting in a high water peak in the optical fiber; if the density is low, the doped fluorine element still penetrates into the core layer, which is not conducive to the formation of stages refractive index profile

If the pure silicon core rod and the F-doped cladding sleeve are separately produced and re-melted in the manufacturing process, the complexity of the process will also be greatly increased.
