Abstract

The invention relates to a quartz sleeve for a large-size optical fiber perform, and a manufacturing method thereof. The quartz sleeve comprises a tubular purely-quartz liner tube, and is characterized in that for the purely-quartz liner tube, the outer diameter is 34-63mm, the wall thickness is greater than or equal to 2mm, and the length is 1.0-2.0m; a quartz-doped layer is deposited on the tube wall of the inner cavity of the purely-quartz liner tube, the relative refractivity difference of the quartz-doped layer is -1.5% to -0.3%, and the inner diameter of the deposited quartz sleeve is equal to or greater than 24mm. Based on the PCVD (Plasma Chemistry Vapor Deposition) technology, the quartz sleeve has the advantages of high raw material utilization rate and accurate refractivity value control; the manufactured sleeve is not only uniform in distribution of refractivity parameters, but also stable in technology and high in the rate of finished products; the large-size optical fiber perform can be manufactured by fully applying the sleeve technology, and the function of manufacturing multi-optical cladding refractivity sections can be realized, and therefore, the quartz sleeve has the advantages of simple and convenient technology and low manufacturing cost when being used for manufacturing the complicated large-size optical fiber perform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a quartz sleeve which can be used as the outer covering material of a large-scale optical fiber prefabricated rod core rod and a manufacturing method thereof, which has the advantages of adjustable refractive index value, uniform distribution of refractive index value parameters, and the like. Background technique [0002] In the field of optical fiber manufacturing, the so-called ferrule is a hollow tubular material made of quartz. Functionally, it can be used as a substrate for depositing doped silica or pure silica, and has the effect of increasing the size of the optical fiber preform. Therefore, the sleeve can be understood as a preform of artificial quartz with specific geometric dimensions. Currently known manufacturing processes for optical fiber preforms typically include in-pipe vapor deposition processes, such as modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD, modified chemical vapor deposition) and plasma chemical vapor ...
