The present invention directs to a method of manufacturing low water peak
single mode optical fiber, which comprises performing deposition in a substrate tube using PCVD technology, whereby a deposited layer of a certain
construction design is formed on the inner wall of the substrate tube, melt contracting the substrate tube into a
solid core rod according to melt contraction technology, producing an
optical fiber preform by combining the core rod and a jacket tube of low hydroxyl content by means of RIT technology or by depositing an outer cladding on the outer surface of the core rod using OVD technology, sending the
optical fiber preform into a
fiber drawing furnace to draw it into an
optical fiber, wherein: in the PCVD technology, the content of impurities in a gas mixture of raw materials, which is characterized by the
infrared spectrum transmissivity thereof, is required to a transmissivity of 90% or greater, the
water content in O2 is 100 ppb or less, the
water content in C2F6 is 1000 ppb or less, the hydroxyl content of the substrate tube is 1000 ppb or less, the dynamic
leak rate of a deposition
machine is 1.0×10−5 mbar·l / s or less; during melt contraction of the substrate tube, the dynamic
leak rate of a melt contraction
machine is 1.0×10−5 mbar·l / s or less; the hydroxyl content of the jacket tube of low hydroxyl content is required to be 10 ppm or less; the
relative humidity of environment during the process of manufacture is 25% or less; the ratio of the cladding
diameter to the core layer
diameter (b / a value) in the
waveguide structure of the optical
fiber is from 2.0 to 7.0.
