料として注目されている。[Prior Art] Chalcogenide glass is known as an infrared transmitting material with excellent infrared transmittance, chemical stability, and heat resistance, and is partially used in infrared transmitting windows, filters, etc. If this glass is formed into a fiber shape, it can not only be applied to waveguides for information transmission and temperature measurement, which are already implemented using silica glass fibers, but also can be used as a waveguide for CO laser energy transmission. . Among chalcogenide glasses, sulfur-based glasses have excellent stability against crystallization and weather resistance, and
It is attracting attention as a material for fibers because it transmits μm infrared rays well.

B)が、このガラスを紡糸した例は報告されていない。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Generally, an optical fiber has a central core surrounded by a cladding having a lower refractive index than the core. ] It is well known that the I structure is preferable. We first developed our own crucible spinning method (patent application 1986-3).
8474, filed on February 23, 1983), and proposed an As-5 glass fiber having a core-clad structure (Japanese Patent Application No. 1993-94331, filed on April 15, 1989). However, the heat resistance temperature of As-5 glass is at most 200°C.
, and when the fiber is used in a temperature range higher than that,
Because the end face of the fiber may oxidize or the fiber may become soft, for example, if this fiber is used to transmit the power of a CO laser, if the incident power exceeds 70 W, the fiber will soften, making it impossible to transmit more power than that. It was difficult to stably transmit the water. Ge-As-5 glass is known as a sulfur-based glass with excellent heat resistance (I?, 17. Myuller, et al., 5o

The glass fiber has a core glass and a cladding glass composed of three elements: germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), and sulfur (S), and a portion of the sulfur in the core glass is replaced with Se. It is a feature. That is, the glass fiber has both a core and a cladding.
Ge is 0.5-35aL%, 5-44at%, S is 40
~85aL%, the total of Ge and As is 20~θOat%, and 0.5~15at% of the sulfur in the core is Se.
Depending on the glass substituted with
at%, the total of Ge and As is 25 to 45aL%,
In addition, it is made of glass in which 2.5 to 5 at% of the sulfur in the core is replaced with Se.
コアガラス、クラッドガラス共にGeの含有量が上記限
定範囲の上限を越えると、ガラスが結晶化しやすくなり
紡糸ができなくなるばかりか、理由はよくわからないの
だが、結晶化していないにもかかわらずガラスが脆くな
り、ファイバーに成形できても非常に折れやすい。When the Ge content of both the core glass and the clad glass exceeds the upper limit of the above limited range, the glass tends to crystallize and spinning becomes impossible, and for reasons that are not well understood, the glass It becomes brittle, and even if it can be formed into fibers, it breaks very easily.
また、コアガラス、クラッドガラス共にGeの含有量が

に用いるには好ましくない。Further, if the Ge content of both the core glass and the clad glass is lower than the lower limit of the above-mentioned limited range, the heat resistance of the glass deteriorates, which is not preferable for use in, for example, power transmission of a CO laser.

るためには2,5〜5aL%で十分である。Furthermore, if the As content of both the core glass and the cladding glass deviates from the upper or lower limit of the above limited range, the glass will tend to crystallize, making spinning impossible. If the S content is too low, the glass tends to crystallize (and cannot be spun). If the S content exceeds the upper limit of the above-mentioned limited range, not only will the glass easily crystallize and spinning will not be possible, but the heat resistance of the glass will deteriorate. This is not preferable because it deteriorates the Se content.Since the Se content in the core glass is a dopant for adjusting the numerical aperture NA of the fiber, for example, 2.5 to 5 aL% is sufficient to obtain a fiber with NA=0.4. It is.

Thereafter, only the vicinity of the lower end of the crucible was heated to a temperature at which the viscosity of the clad tube and core rod became 106 poise.
