Abstract
Optical fiber (14) is drawn from a preform (10) that is fed to a furnace at a constant downfeed rate. The optical fiber (14) is drawn by a tractor (20) at a rate of at least 10 meters per second and the tractor (20) is allowed to vary the draw speed of the fiber (14) based on the fiber diameter as measured by a diameter monitor (15) during the draw processing in order to maintain a relatively constant fiber diameter. Maintaining the preform downfeed rate constant even at high draw rates in excess of 20 meters per second does not adversely effect the draw process and is believed to reduce or eliminate oscillations in the draw control loop that can cause variations in the core shape during fiber formation, resulting in reduced PMD and improved MFD uniformity.
Description
Invention field
The present invention relates to optical fiber, relate in particular to by preform drawing optical fiber method, this method makes optical fiber present more uniform mode field diameter (MFD), and has reduced polarization mode dispersion (PMD).
Background of invention
In the optical fiber manufacturing processed, make the glass core prefabricated rods, prefabricated rods generally comprises SiO
2, its axial portions is mixed such as GeO
2Deng compound, in order to improve specific refractory power.When glass preform is pulled out optical fiber, doped region will form light transmission part or fibre core.
Above-mentioned technology is well-known in the art, is not described in detail here.In order to obtain optical fiber, glass preform or blank be sent in the fiber drawing furnace that is heated to temperature of fusion, and a droplet glass comes off from the blank root with towing optical fiber.Optical fiber is sent into tractor and capstan winch assembly, and this assembly is pulled out optical fiber from blank, and with optical fiber on bobbin.
When with the blank drawing optical fiber, blank is sent into fiber drawing furnace, and the fibre diameter of looking over one's shoulder.Generally control the diameter of optical fiber by some operating parameters that changes wire-drawer-tower.Typically, a fibre diameter measuring apparatus is installed, in order to the measuring optical fiber diameter under stove exit.The diameter and the specific diameter value that record are compared, and produce a signal,, perhaps reduce pulling speed (thereby increasing fibre diameter) so that increase pulling speed (thereby dwindling fibre diameter)
At the twentieth century seventies and whole the mid-80, the blank that drawing optical fiber is used is less relatively.Drawing speed is no more than about per second 8 or 9 meters.Because blank dimension and used drawing speed keep furnace temperature relative with the blank speed of feed constant by changing pulling speed, just the may command fibre diameter.
At twentieth century the mid-80, developed a kind of new process control method, this method is the result who as far as possible increases drawing speed.Specifically, when drawing speed reached 10 meter per seconds, those skilled in the art can abandon using under the constant and send speed.More particularly, it is believed that and to realize suitable control down higher drawing speed (be speed reach and surpass 10 meter per seconds), must adopt cascade or two-stage process control method, thereby can respond the speed that changes drawing speed and blank is sent into fiber drawing furnace downwards to representing the error signal that the fine diameter of reality or institute's photometry is not equal to required diameter.For example, if the fine diameter of institute photometry greater than required fibre diameter, Controlling System will increase pulling speed so, reduce the speed that blank is sent into fiber drawing furnace simultaneously.This control viewpoint has reflected such idea, promptly when with greater than the speed operation drawing optical fibers technology of 8-9 meter per second the time, must change under the blank when changing drawing speed and send speed, so that keep than the constant fibre diameter.
Although this two-stage CONTROL PROCESS makes the fibre diameter substantially constant, have been found that this operating method can produce other adverse influence.It is believed that the vibration of wire drawing control loop specifically, is sent the vibration of speed under the blank, can change the shape of fibre core at the optical fiber shaping.This blank root at following delaying optical fiber is obvious especially.It is believed that when when the blank root forms fibre core, the vibration of blank root in stove can influence the shape of fibre core, and can cause PMD relatively poor, MFD is inhomogeneous.
For the optical fiber that uses in telecommunications is used, PMD should be as much as possible little, and it is even that MFD should keep as much as possible.Having proposed plurality of proposals addresses the above problem.For example, transfer the assignee of the present invention jointly and No. the 08/858th, 836, the U.S. Patent application that awaits the reply jointly and PCT application PCT/US97/02541 have disclosed and make the optical fiber rotation so that the whole bag of tricks and the equipment of reduction PMD when wire drawing.The asymmetry that the way of spin fiber makes the geometry of inside of optical fibre and/or stress during wire drawing is rotated around fiber axis along the length direction of axle; But spin fiber can not solve the basic problem that causes PMD in the glass, and rotation can not be eliminated PMD fully, perhaps solves the homogeneity question of MFD.
In view of these shortcomings of this area, be desirable to provide and a kind ofly when reducing PMD, can keep or improve the inhomogeneity method of MFD.When with higher drawing speed (that is) drawing optical fiber, obviously need this method greater than 10 meter per seconds.Because higher drawing speed can make the following of root send vibration to increase, thereby the PMD of optical fiber is increased.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a kind of optical fiber high-speed wire-drawing method, and this method can be alleviated the one or more problems that produce because of the limitation of related art and shortcoming.Major advantage of the present invention is to provide a kind of wire drawing fibre diameter of controlling when high speed pulling optical fiber to reduce fiber PMD simultaneously and keep the MFD uniform method.Described method comprises that high speed pulling optical fiber keeps sending speed constant under the blank simultaneously.Believe and send speed can avoid the blank root in stove, to vibrate under the constant that this vibration can cause core shape to change at the optical fiber shaping.And the change of core shape can make the PMD and the MFD variation of finished product optical fiber.
In order to obtain these and other advantage, and according to purpose of the present invention, as enforcement and broadly described, the present invention is a kind of method that is used for reducing the polarization mode dispersion of wire drawing optical fiber, and this method may further comprise the steps: send in the stove to fix the preform that send speed will have pre-sizing in advance; Drawing speed with at least 10 meter per seconds is pulled out optical fiber from preform; And the change drawing speed, so that keep fibre diameter constant substantially, the following speed of sending that maintenance simultaneously is scheduled to is constant.Best, drawing speed is greater than 14 meter per seconds, and is then better greater than 20 meter per seconds.
In a preferred embodiment, down send speed constant for the drawing speed of first district or first scope, then for the drawing speed of second district or second scope, time send speed to change into another and different send speed under constant.When drawing speed changes in each district, send speed in each district, to remain unchanged down.In addition, for each district, the following speed of sending can be different.Present method can also comprise the steps, promptly when drawing speed when a district changes to another district with higher drawing speed, send speed to reduce down; Perhaps when drawing speed changes to another district with low drawing speed from a district, send speed to increase down.The step of spin fiber when the present invention can also be included in wire drawing, this can further reduce PMD.

Describe in detail
The present invention aims to provide a kind of method that is used to reduce the polarization mode dispersion of wire drawing optical fiber.This method will have the preform of predetermined size and send into stove with the predetermined following speed of sending.Best, send speed constant under in whole drawing process, keeping, so that make the vibration minimum of prefabricated rods root in stove, thereby keep MFD even, and reduce the PMD of wire drawing optical fiber.
Fig. 1 shows well-known drawing optical fibers system, represents with label 1 usually.Prefabricated rods 10 vertically is placed in the retort furnace 11 of fiber drawing furnace.Prefabricated rods 10 comprises one handle (not shown), and it links to each other with bracing or strutting arrangement (not shown) by known method.Bracing or strutting arrangement is the part of prefabricated rods feeding driving mechanism 22, and feeding driving mechanism 22 control prefabricated rods 10 are sent the speed of stove to.Heating unit 12 provides heat at least the bottom of prefabricated rods 10.Temperature regulator 49 is controlled the temperature of heating unit 12 in a known manner.After having used well-known starting process, prefabricated rods feeding driving mechanism 22 is sent prefabricated rods 10 to stove.When prefabricated rods 10 is sent to stove, the end of prefabricated rods 10 (being commonly referred to as root) fusing, and tractor 20 from prefabricated rods 10 root 13 pull out optical fiber 14.
After optical fiber 14 left retort furnace 11, by diameter monitor 15, monitor 15 produced a signal, and feedback control loop uses the speed of this Signal Regulation tractor 20 and prefabricated rods feeding driving mechanism 22, and passed through the temperature that temperature regulator 49 is regulated stoves.Behind the optical fiber 14 process diameter watch-dogs 15, by cooling tube 17 and applicator 18, applicator 18 supercoat that one deck is curable is coated on the optical fiber 14.Coated fiber can also pass through coating curing equipment, passes through additional applicator (not shown) when needing again.Feedback control to prefabricated rods feeding driving mechanism 22, tractor drives device 21 and temperature regulator 49 can realize with known control algolithm.Provide an input to tractor drives device 21, this is imported from control algolithm 48, and control algolithm 48 is parts of wire drawing control computer 47.For the requirement of optical fiber, it is useful moving tractor 20 with the speed of at least 10 meter per seconds.Tractor should produce the drawing speed greater than 10 meter per seconds, and preferably can produce the drawing speed greater than 20 meter per seconds.
The present invention aims to provide a kind of method that is used to reduce the polarization mode dispersion of wire drawing optical fiber, and this method comprises the steps, is about to send into glass preform, and to pull out optical fiber greater than the speed of 10 meter per seconds.Can measure the size of prefabricated rods 10 by weight or its diameter.Select the following speed of sending of prefabricated rods 10 according to the size of prefabricated rods 10.Best, in case selected, send speed just in whole optical fiber drawing process, to remain unchanged down.Another kind method is to send speed to remain unchanged in predetermined drawing speed district or scope down.Can have any a plurality of drawing speeds district, and the drawing speed scope in each district can change also.But each district has the relative speed of sending of fixing in advance, and under send speed in each given area, to remain unchanged.
If the wire drawing speed by 21 controls of tractor drives device increases or reduces a given zone that has exceeded drawing speed, control algolithm 48 is sent signal to prefabricated rods feeding driving mechanism 22 so, so that will send speed to change over the suitable following speed of sending to this specific drawing speed district down.Set up control algolithm 48, when changing to another district from a district, send speed to change small incremental down, up to reaching the predetermined following speed of sending with convenient pulling speed.If pulling speed will be returned the region of initiation suddenly, this will allow down to send speed to regulate rapidly and get back to raw velocity so.
According to a further aspect in the invention, this method can also comprise the steps, i.e. sensing drawing speed judges that it is whether in predetermined speed district, if the drawing speed that senses send speed under outside the speed district, changing so.In this embodiment, drawing speed transmitter (not shown) continuous monitoring drawing speed in wire drawing control computer 47.If drawing speed changes to another district from a district, control algolithm is sent signal to prefabricated rods feeding driving mechanism 22 so, so that will send the speed increase down or be reduced to the predetermined constant speedpump relevant with this drawing speed district.
Method of the present invention is further comprising the steps of, promptly in response to the fibre diameter that measures, changes drawing speed, so that keep fibre diameter constant substantially when sending speed constant keeping fixing in advance.In order to keep fibre diameter constant, through diameter monitor 15 monitoring optical fiber 14 commonly used.Diameter monitor 15 produces the signal of the fine diameter of expression institute photometry.This signal is sent to wire drawing control computer 47.In wire drawing computer 47, measured signal and predetermined nominal fibre diameter value are made comparisons.Poor according between fine diameter value of institute photometry and the nominal value produces second signal.Second signal is sent to tractor drives device 21, and change pulling speed, to keep fibre diameter constant.This process per minute will carry out hundreds of, and in whole drawing process, send speed to remain unchanged during all scopes of pulling speed down.
Spin fiber also is useful when wire drawing.Proved that spin fiber can further reduce PMD.Develop the whole bag of tricks and equipment, be used for when wire drawing, making the optical fiber rotation.In order to understand the method and apparatus that is used for spin fiber in more detail, can be with reference to the U.S. Patent application the 08/858th that transfers present assignee jointly and await the reply jointly, No. 836 and the 08/784th, No. 574, PCT application PCT/US97/02541 and United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 298, No. 047, the content of all these documents is included in this by reference.
Advantage of the present invention has many.In the system for drawing of prior art, fibre diameter is controlled by pulling speed.Control loop is carried out the control of two step process to wire drawing.If pulling speed changes, send speed that the variation of pulling speed is responded so down.Although do not wish to retrain why the present invention is worked with any theory or explanation, we think that this can make root 13 produce vibration in stove.The vibration in stove of the root of prefabricated rods 10 can make the core shape of wire drawing optical fiber change, and the change of core shape can cause the ununiformity of higher PMD and MFD, and these two kinds of results are unfavorable to optical fiber property.
The present invention send speed by providing under the constant in drawing process, reduced the vibration of prefabricated rods.Opposite with two step control methods of well-known drawing optical fiber at full speed, the present invention sets up control algolithm, even so that also can keep sending speed constant under the prefabricated rods when pulling speed changes, thereby keeps fibre diameter.This control mechanism can reduce or may eliminate various vibrations in the wire drawing control loop (these vibrations can cause the variation of core shape at the optical fiber shaping), and reduces PMD, improves the homogeneity of MFD.
