Method for depositing core layer of optical fiber preform with gradient refractive index profile

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for depositing a core layer of an optical fiber preform with a gradient refractive index profile, which comprises the following steps of clamping a quartz glass tube or a target rod on a rotary chuck, axially reciprocating a microwave resonant cavity or a flame blast burner along the quartz glass tube or the target rod, and introducing reaction gas by controlling the opening degree of a flow meter to form a doped quartz glass deposition layer. The method is characterized in that a whole core layer deposition area is divided into k*(m+1) matrix point locations, a doped deposition vector of each point location is a calibrated doped deposition vector after a mother rod is measured and calculated, and the calibrated doped deposition vector is used for controlling and adjusting the opening degree of a reaction gas flow meter, and the opening control and adjustment of the flow meter are continuously and gradually changed among the point positions. The axial consistency of the core rod can be controlled and improved while the radial precision of the core layer is controlled and improved, so that the preparation precision and the effective rod length of the core layer of the gradient refractive index optical fiber preform rod are improved, and the qualified ratio of optical fiber output is improved.

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for depositing a core layer of an optical fiber prefabricated rod with a graded refractive index profile, and belongs to the technical field of optical fiber prefabricated rod manufacturing. Background technique

[0002] The optical fiber preform required for the production of graded-index optical fiber can be prepared by PCVD (Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition) or MCVD (Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition) in the tube or OVD (Outside Vapor Deposition) in the tube. Through a certain way, such as SiCl is introduced into the high-purity quartz glass tube or outside the tube. 4 , O 2 、GeCl 4 Such high-purity reactants are excited by a microwave source resonator or a flame torch for chemical reaction and vapor deposition to form a transparent quartz glass deposition layer. The reaction formula for preparing the graded-index fiber core rod is as follows:

[0003] SiCl 4 +O 2 = SiO 2 +2Cl 2

[0004] GeCl 4 +O 2 =GeO...
