Embodiment approach

[0029] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an optical fiber preform according to an embodiment of the present invention. The optical fiber preform 1 is made of, for example, glass such as quartz-based glass. For example, silica-based glass fine particles are deposited on the outer periphery of a target rod made of silica-based glass to form a porous layer, and the porous layer is dehydrated and vitrified by sintering to manufacture an optical fiber preform 1 . The optical fiber preform 1 includes a cylindrical portion 1a, a tapered portion 1b, and a dropped portion 1c.

[0030] The radius of the cylindrical portion 1a is r and is substantially constant, and the cylindrical portion 1a has a cylindrical shape extending in the longitudinal direction. The cylindrical portion 1a is a portion where a qualified glass optical fiber to be a product is drawn. The tapered portion 1b is a portion that is arranged adjacent to the columnar portion 1a and whose radius decreases along the l...

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical fiber base material and a method for manufacturing an optical fiber. The optical fiber base material has: a cylindrical portion, the radius of which is r and is approximately constant; and a tapered portion, which is arranged adjacent to the cylindrical portion in the length direction and whose radius decreases along the length direction, the tapered portion has: A first tapered portion having a portion varying in radius from 0.9r to 0.6r; and a second tapered portion having a portion varying in radius from 0.4r to 0.15r, the first tapered portion In the portion where the radius varies between 0.9r and 0.6r, the diameter is reduced so as to form a maximum angle (θ1) between 40° and 60° with respect to the cylindrical portion, and the second tapered portion In the portion where the radius varies between 0.4r and 0.15r, the diameter is reduced so as to form an average angle (θ2) between 5 degrees and 30 degrees with respect to the central axis in the longitudinal direction, and the tapered The volume of the portion is 45% or less of the volume of a cylinder having the same outer diameter and the same length as the maximum outer diameter of the tapered portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber base material and a method for manufacturing an optical fiber. Background technique [0002] One end of an optical fiber base material made of glass is heated and melted in a drawing heating furnace, and the glass optical fiber is drawn from this end, and a coating made of resin or the like is formed on the outer periphery of the drawn glass optical fiber using a drawing die, thereby manufacturing an optical fiber . [0003] However, the tip portion of the optical fiber preform may include a defective portion in which the ratio of the outer diameter of the core to the outer diameter of the clad portion does not meet the specifications. The glass optical fiber drawn from the tip portion as described above cannot be used as a product because the core diameter and the cladding diameter do not meet the specifications. The tip portion of the above-mentioned optical fiber preform is used as a drawing for adjusting ...
