Description

Using plasma sprays the method for manufactured preformod of optical fiber with low water peak outward
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of manufacture method of preformod of optical fiber with low water peak, thereby the outer spray of specifically a kind of using plasma is equipped with the method that covering is made preformod of optical fiber with low water peak.
Background technology
Since late 1970s scale production optical fiber, preform The Study of Manufacturing Technology and perfect just the improvement never be interrupted.The preform manufacturing technology that drops into suitability for industrialized production at first mainly contains following four kinds: modified chemical vapor deposition method (MCVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method (PCVD), pipe outside vapor deposition (OVD) and axial vapor deposition method (VAD).The manufacture method of early stage preform adopts single method, promptly only adopts a kind of technology to make prefabricated rods.Current, the technology of production prefabricated rods adopts hybrid system and tiretube process usually, promptly make prefabricated rod mandrel earlier, make covering at mandrel outer then, but to increase the wire drawing milimeter number of single prefabricated rods, particularly MCVD and PCVD belong to sedimentation in the pipe, the size of prefabricated rods is subjected to the restriction of bushing pipe can not be too big, in order to enhance productivity and to reduce the optical fiber cost, usually adopt MCVD or PCVD to make plug, become pipe (tiretube process) to make preform in the skin employing OVD method (hybrid system) of plug or at outer fit.
Increasingly mature and perfect along with each manufacturing technology all reached than higher level aspect optical fiber property, but the optical fiber price gliding day by day, and market competition is fierce day by day.In order to tackle the market pressure that the optical fiber price reduces, so require constantly to improve the overall manufacturing efficient of manufacturing process and reduce cost of raw materials used, wherein the advantage of hybrid system and tiretube process is appeared suddenly day by day.
At the surrounding layer manufacture view, adopt the outer spray method of plasma, promptly utilize plasma body that high frequency produces will natural or synthetic quartz powder to be sprayed directly into also directly to become transparent glass on the plug and form preform.Owing to adopt the sedimentation effect of this method silica powder very high, can reach more than 60%, particularly the price of natural quartz powder is relatively cheap, and the price of synthetic quartz powder also is reduction trend.In addition, compare with present widely used OVD technology, except that the sedimentation effect height, can directly become glass, saved sintering process, technology controlling and process is simple, maintenance of the equipment and environmental protection treatment expense are low, thereby the outer spray technique of plasma has tangible cost advantage.
U.S. Pat 5522007 had been introduced a kind of outside plasma deposition technique and equipment in 1996, and the method that this patent is introduced is to feed silicon tetrachloride (SiCl in flame passes 4) and oxygen (O 2), the two reacts and generates silicon-dioxide (SiO 2), because reaction and SiO 2Volatilization carry out sedimentary most of SiO simultaneously 2All vapored away, thereby SiO 2Sedimentation effect is extremely low, so this patented method does not possess cost advantage.Outside plasma in the spray technique, especially when adopting the natural quartz powder, because some impurity unavoidably in the natural quartz powder, the opticator that in a single day impurity be diffused into optical fiber will influence the performances such as decay of optical fiber.Patent US6269663B1 has introduced and fed the especially method of fluorochemical of halogenide in reaction, can effectively reduce the alkali metal content in the deposition glass, but can not effectively reduce hydroxyl (OH) content in the deposition glass, therefore the outer spray technique of plasma generally is used for the production common single mode optical fibres, but is restricted in the production application of low-water-peak fiber.Adopt the outer spray method of plasma, the OH in the deposition glass is mainly derived from two aspects, and the one, derive from starting material, comprise that quartz sand, the used pressurized air of plasma lamp and argon gas and charging are gases used etc.; The 2nd, in the deposition process, the prefabricated rods surface temperature is higher, greater than 1000 ℃, very easily adsorb in the surrounding environment OH and to excellent internal diffusion.The former can suitably reduce by raw-material drying treatment, but the latter needs ultralow wet environment, and plasma needs big exhausting will not deposit with evaporable silica powder when spraying outward to take away to guarantee deposition quality, realize ultralow wet environment, very expensive.Become today of main product in low-water-peak fiber, the plasm outward spraying technology has run into challenge, utilize the low-cost advantage of plasm outward spraying technology to prepare low-water-peak fiber, just must solve the problem of OH to the plug internal diffusion.。
In addition, depend primarily on the sedimentation effect of production efficiency and quartz sand with the cost of the made surrounding layer of plasm outward spraying.Power consumption occupies bigger ratio in the plasm outward spraying technology in cost, and the utilization ratio that improves heat that plasma body produces also is effective measure that reduce cost to reduce power consumption.In patent US6215092B1 and CN1111514C, disclose an a kind of shared producer and adopted the method and the relative unit of two plasma lamps, can increase sedimentation rate 50%, but two shared producers of plasma lamp are difficult to the two power division of balance, the stability extreme difference, one of them plasma lamp breaks down, to cause the deposition failure, scrap thereby reduced the equipment service efficiency and increased.The sedimentation effect of quartz sand depends primarily on the size distribution, plasma lamp of quartz sand with respect to the position of target rod and the external diameter of target rod.The present invention has drawn the method that can improve quartz sand sedimentation rate, sedimentation effect and heat utilization ratio that plasma body produces greatly on the basis of a large amount of experiments.

Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is: at the problem that current plasm outward spraying method exists in making the low-water-peak fiber process, spray is equipped with the method that covering is made preformod of optical fiber with low water peak outside a kind of using plasma thereby provide.
Technical scheme of the present invention is achieved in that the section index distribution of plug adopts the blanket design of sinking:
Δ -=-0.04--0.01%, Δ +=0.310-0.350%, b/a 〉=2.3, c/a 〉=3.9, sandwich layer mix fluorine weight percentage=0.30%-0.50%; Sink covering mix fluorine weight percentage=sandwich layer mix fluorine weight percentage+K * (Δ +-), 0.70≤K≤1.04, its concrete steps are the plug that (1) adopts arbitrary prepared said structure; (2) the outer spray method of using plasma is deposited on silica powder and prepares surrounding layer on the plug, promptly makes preformod of optical fiber with low water peak.Described plug preferably adopts the PCVD prepared.
Another preferred version of the present invention is that one or more snippets plug that above-mentioned steps (1) prepares is inserted in intermediate casing, on the stretching tower, with fluorine-containing gas and assist gas mandrel outer surface and intermediate casing internal surface are corroded earlier, with its molten being reduced to together, obtain making up plug then; The outer spray method of using plasma is sprayed directly into silica powder on the combination plug and makes preformod of optical fiber with low water peak then.
The another preferred version of the present invention is: at first the outer spray method of using plasma is sprayed directly into silica powder and makes assembled casing on the intermediate casing; Adopt tiretube process that the plug insertion assembled casing of described step (1) preparation is made preformod of optical fiber with low water peak then.
The concrete technology and the step of plasm outward spraying method of the present invention are as follows: silica powder feeder sleeve and plasma lamp are fixed on the hot support of retaining, plasma lamp is 45 degree obliquely, its position with respect to the target rod can be adjusted, the silica powder feeder sleeve also can be adjusted with respect to the position of plasma lamp, and silica powder feeder sleeve and plasma lamp alignment targets rod are deposited; The tilt angle alpha of silica powder feeder sleeve is 45 degree, can slightly adjust with the size-grade distribution of silica powder and the velocity of discharge of silica powder.In the deposition process, carry out along with sedimentary, the increase of target rod 10 external diameters, the position of plasma lamp 8 can oblique 45 directions down be moved, and target rod 10 is fixed on can be around its axial rotation with in axial direction with respect to the plasma lamp translation on the lathe.
Ultimate principle of the present invention is as follows:
As stated in the Background Art, in the plasm outward spraying technology, not only OH content is higher in the sedimentary glass of institute, can cause that also OH in the environment is attracted on the target rod and to internal diffusion, in case OH is diffused into the increase that the sandwich layer of prefabricated rods will cause optical fiber water peak.Owing to be difficult to solve this problem by the optimization of the external spray technique of article on plasma, the present invention can effectively stop the sandwich layer diffusion of OH to prefabricated rods by the design to plug.The sandwich layer that can OH inwardly be diffused into prefabricated rods depends primarily on diffusion length and spread coefficient.The method that increases diffusion length is exactly the c/a value that increases plug, increases the manufacturing cost that the c/a value can increase plug.Experiment shows, mixes fluorine in the fibre cladding and can effectively stop the diffusion of outside hydroxyl to sandwich layer, keeps the low hydroxyl state of sandwich layer.Corresponding reaction equation is:
Figure A20051001943600091
Adopt PCVD technology can carry out fluorine accurately and mix, mix the water peak that fluorine can also reduce the hydroxyl in the PCVD settled layer and then reduce optical fiber in the optical fiber.Under action of plasma, F has higher deposition efficiency, can reach more than 90%, and for OVD and VAD technology etc., in the deposition process, the sedimentation effect of F is extremely low, and great majority are mixed F and carried out in sintering process (as feeding SiF 4), but be subjected to the restriction of deposit thickness, and need to adopt repeatedly deposition-agglomerating method, complex process, cost is higher.Thereby mixing aspect the F, PCVD technology has remarkable advantages.The present invention utilizes the process advantage of PCVD just, introducing F at the covering of plug mixes, OH that adsorbs from environment during with the prevention plasm outward spraying and the OH in the made silica glass of plasm outward spraying are to the diffusion of sandwich layer, in conjunction with an amount of c/a that increases, can be directly on this plug outside the using plasma spray technique prepare covering with the production low-water-peak fiber.
Outside using plasma in the spray technique, when with the natural quartz powder, the silica powder composition often along with batch difference certain fluctuation is arranged, plasm outward spraying prepared outsourcing viscosity and specific refractory power are fluctuateed, and then influence characteristics such as the cutoff wavelength of optical fiber and decay, cause drawing process complicated.Experiment shows, utilizes PCVD technology that the material composition and the refractive index profile of plug are designed, and can well solve the problem of viscosity and refractive index match, thereby allow the silica powder composition that certain fluctuation takes place.
Simultaneously, the same with OVD technology, the sedimentation effect of silica powder increases with the increase of target rod outside diameter.When the target rod outside diameter hour because the sedimentation effect of silica powder is low, its cost is higher, is higher than to adopt the prepared synthetic quartz glass of OVD technology.Adopt the technology of combination plug or assembled casing, can further reduce the manufacturing cost of prefabricated rods.
In combination plug and assembled casing technology, higher when used synthetic mesophase sleeve pipe ratio in whole prefabricated rods, be not less than at 25% o'clock, can select for use by any technology, comprise MCVD, PCVD, OVD and VAD preparation and with the low water peak plug of its geometric match.The major advantage of combination plug and assembled casing technology be at the sedimentation effect that improves silica powder with when reducing plasma and spray made outsourcing cost outward, do not need to increase the c/a value of plug, thereby make prefabricated rods have lower cost.Combination plug and assembled casing technology advantage in making large size prefabricated rod is more obvious, both effectively solved PCVD and MCVD technology are subjected to the bushing pipe restriction when making large size prefabricated rod mandrel problem, and made the higher covering that makes of average deposition efficient of outsourcing have lower cost again.And large size prefabricated rod not only self cost is low, also can improve wire drawing efficient, also be to reduce comparatively effective means of optical fiber cost at present.
In addition, for plasm outward spraying, high deposition rate and high sedimentation effect are to guarantee basis cheaply.Experiment shows, with a plasma lamp, adopts the above plasma power of 80KW, can realize the sedimentation rate that 20g/min is above, the stability of integrated equipment and manufacturing cost, and the power of plasma body is best at 80KW to 120KW.For the utilization ratio that improves heat that plasma body produces and the sedimentation effect of silica powder, plasma lamp need constantly be adjusted according to the size-grade distribution of silica powder, the external diameter and the different of sedimentation rate of target rod with respect to the position of target rod.Use method provided by the invention, can prepare ITU-TG.652.C/D optical fiber, all less than 0.344dB/km, the attenuation at 1550nm place is less than 0.224dB/km in the attenuation at 1310nm and 1383nm place for prepared optical fiber.Press the hydrogen loss testing method of IEC regulation, at ambient temperature optical fiber being placed the hydrogen dividing potential drop is 0.01 atmosphere, the attenuation increase at continuous monitoring optical fiber 1240nm place.When 1240nm place attenuation increases above behind the 0.03dB/km optical fiber is taken out from this atmosphere, test the attenuation at 1383nm place after 14 days under normal operation, the attenuation increase of this optical fiber is no more than 0.01dB/km.
The present invention is on the basis of a large amount of experiments, solved the deficiency that current plasma body exists effectively in making low-water-peak fiber, be designed into plasm outward spraying from plug a kind of brand-new Technology is provided, it combines the plug manufacturing technology and the cheap surrounding layer manufacturing technology of cheapness, very the low cost production low-water-peak fiber is particularly suited for scale operation.In addition, be not limited to method provided by the invention and prepare G.652.C/D optical fiber, any single-mode fiber can be realized in this way.
To provide detailed embodiment below, use range of the present invention will become apparent.But, should be understood that these are used for illustrating that the specific embodiment of the preferred embodiments of the invention only is used for illustrating, because various variations within the spirit and scope of the present invention and change are conspicuous for those skilled in the art.
