Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés de fabrication de fibre optique selon les techniques filament-tube et bâton-tube. On dispose, dans une gaine creuse (112), une matière solide ou monolithique (110) constituant l'âme, de façon à former une gaine remplie de façon non compacte. On chauffe cette gaine ainsi remplie à une température d'étirage à peu près égale à la température de ramollissement de la gaine. La matière (110) fond et remplit la partie chauffée de la gaine, formant ainsi une âme remplie qui peut ensuite être étirée jusqu'à former une fibre optique ou une tige optique pouvant être consolidée par une nouvelle gaine et étirée jusqu'à former une fibre. Il est possible d'utiliser des matières (110) et des gaines (112) présentant des coefficients d'expansion très variables. Eventuellement, la fibre obtenue est facilement fondue à des fibres déjà installées.
