Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for manufacturing an optical fiber preform by an MCVD (Modified Chemical Vapor D mark osition) method.
- MCVD Modified Chemical Vapor D mark osition
- the MCVD method heats a quartz pipe while reciprocating a heat source along a longitudinal direction of the quartz pipe while supplying a gas containing at least a glass raw material from one end of the quartz pipe to an inner surface of the quartz pipe.
- This is a method of depositing a glass layer on the substrate.
- an optical fiber preform By solidifying the quartz pipe thus obtained, an optical fiber preform can be obtained.
- the optical fiber preform may be one that is directly drawn into an optical fiber, but may be drawn after further synthesizing a glass body externally or performing outer peripheral grinding. It may be an optical fiber.
- the raw material gas supplied to the quartz pipe is heated by the heat source and reacts to become glass soot at the heating position, and the glass soot adheres to the inner surface of the quartz pipe at the downstream side of the heating position. Then it becomes a glass soot body. Therefore, the deposition amount of glass soot gradually increases from the heating start end of the raw material gas introduction side of the quartz pipe, and the deposition amount becomes constant from a certain position.
- the glass soot body becomes a glass layer by being sintered by heating
- the shrinkage force when the glass soot body is sintered increases as the amount of glass soot deposited increases.
- the difference in the contraction force of the glass soot body at each position of the quartz pipe distorts the shrinkage behavior of the quartz pipe, the outer diameter of the quartz pipe becomes non-uniform in the longitudinal direction, and the thickness of the glass layer deposited on the quartz pipe in the longitudinal direction. The inconvenience of unevenness is caused.
- a buffer chamber is provided on the exhaust side of the quartz pipe, and the amount of buffer gas supplied to the buffer chamber is adjusted.
- Patent Document 1 that applies pressure to the inside of the quartz pipe so that the quartz pipe does not shrink so as to match the contraction force, and the quartz pipe is controlled by controlling the amount of exhaust gas from the quartz pipe.
- Inert gas is supplied together with the raw material gas from the raw material gas introduction side of the quartz pipe by a technology that adjusts the internal pressure (Patent Document 2), or by adjusting the supply amount of the inert gas.
- Patent Document 3 A technique for controlling the pressure in a pipe (Patent Document 3) has been proposed.
- the pressure in the quartz pipe is a differential pressure between the absolute pressure in the pipe and the outside air pressure, that is, a so-called gauge pressure.
- Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 cannot sufficiently cope with the expansion of the pressure adjustment range in the quartz pipe and the increase in the adjustment speed.
- the inside of the quartz pipe is a means for adjusting the amount of buffer gas introduced and the amount of exhaust gas. If the response to pressure fluctuations is made more sensitive, the pressure inside the adjusted quartz pipe becomes an overresponse that exceeds the target appropriate value, and immediately the pressure difference for the overresponse part is eliminated. The re-adjustment is performed, and the pressure in the quartz pipe cannot be quickly converged to the target appropriate value. For this reason, there is a possibility that a shape defect due to a fluctuation in the pressure in the quartz pipe may be caused. If the pressure inside the pipe was suddenly reduced due to heat, there was a possibility that soot would flow backward.

- the shape of the quartz pipe 3 affected by the pressure inside the quartz pipe 3 includes the outer diameter or inner diameter of the quartz pipe 3 or the wall thickness of the pipe. For the shape to be monitored, it is sufficient to examine the measuring equipment and measuring method required for measuring each shape at least one of them, and select shape parameters that are easy to measure. Regardless of the shape parameters of the outer diameter or inner diameter of the quartz pipe 3 or the wall thickness of the pipe, accurate measurement can contribute to the improvement of control processing accuracy in feedback control, and the shape of the quartz pipe 3 Thus, it is possible to realize the production of a good preform while maintaining the stability.
- a laser outer diameter measuring instrument is used as a method of measuring the shape of the quartz pipe 3.

- a measuring method can also be adopted.
- the optical fiber preform manufacturing method by the MCVD method As the deposition rate of the glass layer 33 in the quartz pipe 3 increases to, for example, 0.5 g / min or more, the glass in the quartz pipe 3 in the longitudinal direction increases. The change in the deposition amount of the layer increases, and the adjustment range of the pressure in the quartz pipe 3 increases.
- the outer diameter of the pipe may be once reduced by the contraction force of the soot and then expanded again by the pressure in the pipe. Therefore, when the feedback control is performed under certain conditions, the feedback control may not work well depending on whether the pipe is contracting, expanding or after expansion at the position where the shape of the nozzle is measured. For example, when measuring the outer diameter during contraction or expansion, there is a risk that the control will apply an internal pressure greater than necessary and cause a large expansion.
- the area after expansion is 10 to 50 times larger than the area where the glass is transparent.
- the measurement position may be a position where the diameter reduction of the pipe is started, a position where the diameter reduction is not performed, a reduced diameter portion, an expanded portion, and a position where the expansion is completed.
- Preliminary control refers to the prediction of the outer diameter at each measurement position, the speed at which the nozzle contracts and expands, and the outer diameter after expansion from the position of each measurement point.
- An example is a method of calculating and controlling how much the pressure should be increased or decreased with respect to the pressure in the pipe being applied.
- the temperature at each measurement position of the outer diameter is measured, or the temperature is measured at other points, and the temperature is predicted by an equation of heat transfer, and the viscosity of the pipe is determined according to the result.
- the outer diameter changes greatly when a control delay occurs. If the greatly changed outer diameter is used for control, deformation in the opposite direction (a sudden reduction in diameter when expanded, and a sharp expansion when reduced in diameter) occurs.
