Description of the Related Art A transition metal-doped fiber in which a transition metal such as Co (cobalt) is doped in a core portion of an optical fiber attenuates transmission light by absorbing light. Therefore, application as an optical attenuator is expected by cutting such an optical fiber into an appropriate length to form a module. FIG. 2 is a graph showing the light absorption characteristics of such a transition metal element in quartz glass.
The horizontal axis of this graph represents the wavelength of light propagating in the optical fiber, and the vertical axis represents loss. As shown in this figure, the light absorption of the transition metal element Co in quartz glass has wavelength dependence. That is, since the energy absorption of light at a wavelength of 1.55 μm (1550 nm) is larger than that at 1.3 μm (1300 nm), an optical attenuator using a Co-doped fiber has a wavelength dependency as it is, and a wide band. The use of a harmful effect on transmitted signals. Then, the following structure is considered.

る。FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of an optical attenuator in which the wavelength dependency is eliminated. In this example, the optical attenuator is constituted by a single mode fiber. Then, a Co-doped region 1 is provided at the center of the core, and a high-purity quartz region 2 is provided at the outer periphery. In this example, the radius of the Co-doped region 1 is set to b, and the radius of the entire core is set to a. The ratio between a and b is appropriately selected, and the Co-doped region 1
If the distribution is appropriately selected, the wavelength dependence of the entire optical fiber can be completely eliminated. An optical fiber for manufacturing the above-described optical attenuator is manufactured as follows.

Next, the porous base material is immersed in a methanol solution in which a chloride of transition metal Co or the like is dissolved, and then the taken out porous base material is dried.

If the preform made of quartz porous glass can be doped with as many dopants as possible, a fiber with a high attenuation rate can be manufactured. However, when the dopant concentration is gradually increased, crystallization of the glass is likely to occur, and it is difficult to obtain a transparent glass as a whole. In particular, as described above, the Co concentration distribution in the peripheral portion is higher than that in the central portion of the core, and crystallization of the glass is likely to occur in this portion. If the Co concentration distribution in this portion is 0.5 wt% or less, crystallization of the glass hardly occurs. However, when the maximum value of the Co concentration distribution exceeds 1 wt%, there is a problem that crystallization is likely to occur in that portion.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a base material showing the method of the present invention. The present invention is implemented by the following procedure. First,
As described above, glass soot was deposited on a quartz rod by the flame hydrolysis method and had a diameter of 70 mm and a length of 30 mm.
A graded index soot-shaped base material having 0 mm and an outer shape error of 0.3% is manufactured. Thereafter, this is heated in an electric furnace and pre-sintered so that the bulk density becomes 0.4 g / cm 3 . Then, the base material is made up of 9.5 with CoCl 2 .6H 2 O.
It is immersed in a methanol solution in which wt% is dissolved and left for 20 hours. Then, take out and air dry. Then C
Heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 1190 ° C. in an atmosphere in which the flow rate of l 2 is 35 cc per minute and the flow rate of He is 16 liters per minute. afterwards,
Further, heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 1190 ° C. in an atmosphere of SiF 4 at a rate of 200 cc / min and a He flow rate of 16 L / min.

た。FIG. 1 shows the state of this heat treatment. The base material 5 is held in the electric furnace while rotating as shown by the arrow. Here, heating is performed while flowing SiF 4 and He gas. As a result, the following chemical reaction occurs as shown in the lower part of the figure. SiF 4 + 2CoO → SiO 2 + 2CoF 2 After such a reaction is caused, the glass is further heated to form a transparent glass. The vitrified rod was used as a fiber core rod, and a ferrule cut to 22.4 mm was attached to form a connector. As a result, an optical attenuator having an attenuation of 20 dB was obtained.

ッドが得られる。When the base material is heat-treated in an atmosphere containing SiF 4 and He as described above, this gas penetrates into the inside of the porous base material, and a chemical reaction of the above formula occurs. As a result, CoO contained in the porous base material 5 becomes CoF
Converted to 2 . When such conversion occurs, crystallization of the glass rod after sintering and vitrification is unlikely to occur. This results in a glass rod suitable for a sufficiently transparent attenuator.
