- the invention relates to a tubular semi-finished product for producing an optical fiber.
- the attenuation of the light signal carried in an optical fiber depends inter alia on bends of the fiber. Small bending radii cause a higher optical attenuation. Signal loss can be reduced by using bend-insensitive optical fibers. Such fibers have been known for many years and increasingly come into view in the course of the laying of fiber-optic networks right up to the home (fiber-to-the-home; FTTH). In this application, particularly small bending radii are often desired because of space limitations and aesthetic requirements.

- the outer jacket tube has a higher concentration of impurities.
- US 6,263,706 B1 discloses a method for adjusting a fluorine concentration profile in a SiO 2 silo tube. After removal of a mandrel, the soot tube is preferably doped with fluorine via the gas phase by passing along the soot tube outer wall a fluorine-containing doping gas and through the internal bore either no gas or helium.
- the generated refractive index profiles are substantially parabolic with a maximum in the center of the tube.
- US 3,981,707A describes the production of an optical fiber by collapsing a fluorine-doped quartz glass tube having an inhomogeneous radial Has fluorine concentration profile in which the fluorine concentration in the center of the tube has a maximum and decreases to the tube inner wall and the tube outer wall out.
- the fluorine depletion in the region of the free tube surfaces is produced by treating the tube of fluorine-doped quartz glass at high temperature.
- DE 101 55 134 C1 discloses a method for producing a preform by providing a core rod having a predetermined sheath / core ratio by means of POD outer deposition in a hydrogen-free atmosphere with a soot layer, and subsequently drying and vitrifying the soot layer , In cladding glass results in a hydroxyl group content of less than
- the present invention has for its object to provide a method and a tubular semi-finished product for the cost-effective production of an optical fiber, which is characterized by a high quality of the interface between the core and cladding and a low bending sensitivity.
- the quartz glass of the annular zone is provided in the form of a ring zone tube made of quartz glass with an average fluorine content of at least 6000 ppm by weight, one of a tube inner surface and a Pipe outer surface has limited wall, wherein on the Ringzonenrohr wall a radial fluorine concentration profile is set, which has an inner fluorine depletion layer with a layer thickness of at least 1 ⁇ and at most 10 ⁇ , in which the fluorine content to the pipe inner surface drops out and in a near-surface region with a thickness of 1 ⁇ maximum 3000 ppm by weight.
- the quartz glass for the annular zone is provided in the form of at least one fluorine-doped silica glass tube, referred to herein as a "ring zone tube".
- a fluorine-doped quartz glass tube is produced either by means of a so-called POD process (plasma outside deposition) by vitrifying SiO 2 particles directly to a quartz glass tube with direct fluorination, or by means of a CVD deposition process by hydrolysis or pyrolysis of silicon-containing starting compounds under construction of a SiO 2 soot body, which is subsequently doped with fluorine and sintered.
- POD process plasma outside deposition
- CVD deposition process by hydrolysis or pyrolysis of silicon-containing starting compounds under construction of a SiO 2 soot body, which is subsequently doped with fluorine and sintered.
- the other individual elements namely an outer sheath tube made of doped or undoped quartz glass for producing the outer sheath zone of the fiber and the core rod for generating the core zone and the inner sheath zone of the fiber can be produced in separate processes and then coaxial to produce the fiber in the form of an ensemble Components are assembled.
- the coaxial ensemble is then collapsed into a preform or elongated or elongated directly to a fiber. If a preform is first generated, it is drawn to the optical fiber in a separate process step. In this case or in advance, it can be provided with additional jacket material, for example by adding further quartz glass in tube form or byhorizonabscheide vide.
- the ring zone of fluorine-doped quartz glass with a lower refractive index than the cladding glass effects additional guidance of the light mode.
- the ring zone is slightly away from the core, ie separated from it by an inner cladding glass zone.
- the annulus zone causes a reduction in fiber bending losses over a standard non-annealed fiber without compromising compatibility with standard monomode fibers. This is important when joining bend-insensitive ring-zone fibers to standard fibers.
- the fluorine-doped ring zone tube when forming a contact surface with the core rod, has a radial fluorine concentration profile over its wall which slopes down towards the tube inner surface. It has been found that this significantly reduces the formation of bubbles at the interface with the core rod during the elution process.
- the range of low fluorine concentration in the edge region of the ring zone tube is also referred to below as the "fluorine depletion layer".
- the doping with fluorine causes a reduction in the refractive index of the quartz glass of the annular zone.
- a high fluorine concentration and a steep refractive index jump between core rod and annular zone are advantageous.
- the fluorine content is therefore adjusted to at least 6000 ppm by weight and can be up to 15,000 ppm by weight.
- the refractive index lowering caused by the fluorine doping compared to undoped quartz glass is at least 2x10 "4 relative to the refractive index of undoped silica glass.
- the average fluorine content of the ring-zone tube is understood to be that fluorine concentration which results from spectroscopic measurement over the tube wall.
- the fluorine depletion layer makes it not noticeable noticeable because of their relatively small thickness.
- the doping with fluorine causes a reduction in the refractive index of the quartz glass of the annular zone.
- a steep refractive index jump between core rod and ring zone is advantageous for a high bending resistance of the optical fiber.
- Fluorine concentration gradients and thus radial refractive index gradients are in and of themselves undesirable.
- layer thicknesses of less than 10 ⁇ m are acceptable and represent a suitable compromise between flexural resistance of the fiber and quality of the interface. With a layer thickness of less than 1 ⁇ m, however, there is no appreciable effect with regard to reduced blister formation.
- the fluorine depletion layer in a near-surface region having a thickness of 1 ⁇ a fluorine content of 3000 ppm by weight or less.
- the particularly low fluorine content in the near-surface region contributes significantly to a low blistering.
- the fluorine depletion layer is defined as the layer thickness which has a fluorine concentration which is less than 80% of the maximum concentration of fluorine in the quartz glass of the ring zone tube.
- the near-surface area depleted of fluorine is defined as the layer thickness having a fluorine concentration less than 80% of the maximum concentration of fluorine in the quartz glass of the ring zone tube.
- Decisive is the drop in the fluorine concentration profile in the direction of the core rod.
- the ring zone tube is provided with a radial fluorine concentration profile over the ring zone tube wall, which also has an outer fluorine depletion layer in which the fluorine concentration falls toward the outer tube surface.
- the dimension of the outer fluorine depletion layer, the steepness of the decrease of the fluorine concentration and the maximum concentration in the near-surface region are less stringent than those of the inner fluorine depletion layer. In any case, the dimensions, profiles and concentrations already explained above for the inner fluorine depletion layer are sufficient for the outer fluorine depletion layer. It has proven to be advantageous if the fluorine depletion layer a
- Layer thicknesses of less than 4 ⁇ m give a particularly suitable compromise between bending resistance of the fiber and the quality of its inner boundary surfaces to the ring zone tube.
- the ring zone tube is preferably produced without tools by removing a mother tube from a fluorine-doped quartz glass to form fluorine depletion zones on the tube inner surface and on the tube outer surface.
- a mother tube from a fluorine-doped quartz glass
- fluorine depletion zones on the tube inner surface and on the tube outer surface.
- the fluorine outdiffusion can be adjusted to yield a fluorine-depleted layer having the above dimensions and concentration profiles. Suitable temperature / heating duration parameter pairs can be determined by a person skilled in the art on the basis of a few experiments.
- the outer diameter of the drawn-out annular zone tube which is preferably in the range of 10 to 50% of the outer diameter of the mother tube, typically outer diameter in the range of 30 to 70 mm, and the cylinder ratio of outer diameter to inner diameter is 0 in the ring zone tube , 2 to 0.8 smaller than the mother tube.
- the ring zone tube is heated in a separate process step to produce the fluorine depletion layer of desired thickness and fluorine concentration profile. Even when heating the Ringzonenrohres by selecting the temperature and the heating time, the fluorine outdiffusion based on fewer attempts to adjust.
- the heating of the mother tube during the extraction process or the heating of the ring zone tube is preferably carried out by means of an electric heater in hydrogen-free atmosphere.
- a fluorine-depleted surface layer may result in a thickness exceeding the specified size. This result can also be achieved by heating the ring zone tube to set a sufficiently thick fluorine depletion layer, also intentionally.
- the excess fluorine-depleted layer thickness can be removed by etching with hydrofluoric acid or a gaseous etchant. In the context, it has therefore been proven to remove at least the inner tube surface of the Ringzonenrohres after removing the mother tube or when pulling partially. By removing the inner surface of the thickness of the fluorine depletion layer is reduced to the specified value and at the same time a clean, error-free surface is generated as possible.
- the removal is preferably carried out by gas phase etching in order to avoid loading of the quartz glass with water and hydroxyl groups.
- the thickness of the depleted of fluorine surface layer may be 15 ⁇ or more after the extraction of the mother tube or after heating the Ringzonenrohres. It is important that during the subsequent removal of the inner surface, the removal depth is less than this previously generated fluorine-depleted surface layer, so that a part of the same remains as a fluorine depletion layer with the desired desired thickness. In view of this, it has proved to be advantageous if the depth of the removal of the inner surface is in the range of 10 to 70% of the original thickness of a fluorine-depleted surface layer.
- the fluorine depletion layer has a fluorine content of at most 2000 ppm by weight in said near-surface region.
- a low fluorine content in the near-surface layer with a layer thickness of 1 ⁇ contributes significantly to a low bubble formation.
- the quartz glass of the ring zone tube in the region of the fluorine depletion layer has an average hydroxyl group content of less than 1 ppm by weight and preferably less than 0.5 ppm by weight
- a low hydroxyl group content in the fluorine depletion layer is achieved, for example, when the heating takes place when elongating a mother tube to the ring zone tube or heating the ring zone tube to form the fluorine depletion layer in an electrical heating zone in a hydrogen-free atmosphere.
- a low hydroxyl group content is equally helpful in the area of the other individual elements to be assembled with the ring zone tube to avoid blistering.
- the quartz glass of the inner mantle zone is provided by a core rod which has a hydroxyl group content of less than 0.5 ppm by weight in the region of a surface layer with a layer thickness of 10 ⁇ m.
- This low hydroxyl group content in the near-surface region of the core rod is achieved, for example, by elongating the core rod in an electrical heating zone, ie, no hydrogen-containing burner flame is used for flame polishing or the like.
- the quartz glass of the outer jacket zone is provided by an outer jacket tube which has a surface layer in the region of its inner surface which has a hydroxyl group content of less than 0.5 ppm by weight in a layer thickness of 10 ⁇ m
- the outer jacket tube is made of doped or undoped quartz glass and is preferably produced by OVD soot build-up method followed by dehydrogenation in a chlorine-containing atmosphere and sintering, including mechanical working and stripping to a jacket tube.
- the low hydroxyl group content in the region of the inner surface of the outer jacket tube is also made possible by the fact that the inner surface of the outer jacket tube is produced by mechanical processing.
- any increased hydroxyl group content in the surface region can be removed without introducing new hydroxyl groups.
- the heating of the ring zone tube for the production of the fluorine depletion layer can also take place during the elongation of the ensemble of carbon, ring zone tube and any further individual parts. In this case, the length of the heating zone and the feed rate of the ensemble through the heating zone must be taken into account. In view of this, it has proved favorable if the quotient of heating zone length (in mm) and feed rate of the mother tube (in mm / min) is 10 minutes or more.
- the length of the heating zone is at least 150 mm, and is typically in the range of 180 to 250 mm.
- the temperature in the region of the surface of the Ringzonenrohres is at least 2200 ° C.
- the tubular semi-finished product for producing an optical fiber the above object is achieved in that it consists of quartz glass with an average fluorine content of at least 6000 ppm by weight, and one of a tube inner surface and a tube outer surface has limited wall, over which a radial fluorine concentration profile is set, which has an inner fluorine depletion layer with a layer thickness of at least 1 ⁇ and at most 10 ⁇ in which the fluorine content to the tube inner surface drops out and in a near-surface region with egg - ner thickness of 1 ⁇ maximum 3000 ppm by weight.
- the semifinished product in the form of a fluorine-doped quartz glass tube is referred to here as a "ring zone tube.”
- This is produced either by means of a so-called POD process (plasma outside deposition), in which the SiO 2 particles are synthetically directly doped with fluorine directly into a quartz glass tube be vitrified, or by means of a CVD deposition process by hydrolysis or pyrolysis of silicon-containing starting compounds to form a SiO 2 - soot body, which is subsequently doped with fluorine and sintered.
- the ring zone tube is used to make an optical fiber by the method described above, and is thereby processed into a preform or fiber in a coaxial ensemble together with other individual elements comprising an outer jacket tube and a core rod.
- the inner tube surface and the tube outer surface are softened and fused with quartz glass of other individual quartz glass elements. Due to the fluorine content of the ring zone tube, blistering may occur at the contact surfaces.
- the annular zone tube according to the invention has, over its wall, a radial fluorine concentration profile which drops at least towards the inner surface. This substantially reduces the formation of bubbles at the interface with the core rod during elongation of the semifinished product.
- the region of lower fluorine concentration in the edge region of the ring zone tube is referred to as "fluorine depletion layer".
- the doping with fluorine causes a reduction in the refractive index of the quartz glass of the annular zone.
- a high fluorine concentration and a steep refractive index jump between core rod and annular zone are advantageous.
- the fluorine content of the Ringzonenrohres is therefore at least 6000 ppm by weight, and can be up to 15,000 ppm by weight be.
- the refractive index lowering caused by the fluorine doping compared to undoped quartz glass is at least 2x10 "4 relative to the refractive index of undoped silica glass.
- the problem of bubbles at the interfaces increases with increasing mean fluorine content of the ring zone tube. Accordingly, the bubble-reducing effect of the fluorine depletion layer becomes noticeable, especially at high mean fluorine contents.
- the method according to the invention thus makes itself felt preferably in ring zone tubes with high mean fluorine contents of 6000 ppm by weight or more.
- the doping with fluorine causes a reduction in the refractive index of the quartz glass of the annular zone.
- a steep refractive index jump between core rod and ring zone is advantageous for a high bending resistance of the optical fiber. Fluorine concentration gradients and thus radial refractive index gradients are in and of themselves undesirable.
- Layer thicknesses of less than 10 ⁇ are acceptable and represent a suitable compromise between Biegeunmultikeit the fiber and quality of the interface. With a layer thickness of less than 1 ⁇ but there is no significant effect in terms of reduced blistering.
- the fluorine depletion layer in a near-surface region having a thickness of 1 ⁇ a fluorine content of 3000 ppm by weight or less.
- the particularly low fluorine content in the near-surface region contributes significantly to a low blistering.
- the fluorine depletion layer and the fluorine depleted near-surface region are defined above by the method of the present invention.
- the ring zone tube is used to produce an optical fiber.
- it is assembled together with other individual elements, comprising an outer jacket tube made of doped or undoped quartz glass and a core rod, which are each produced in separate processes, in the form of the component ensemble.
- This ensemble is then processed into a preform or directly into a fiber.
- the fluorine-doped ring zone tube has a radial fluorine concentration profile over its wall, which drops towards the inner surface. This substantially reduces the formation of bubbles at the interface with the core rod during elongation of the semifinished product.
- the ring zone tube causes a higher bending resistance in the optical fiber drawn therefrom.
- the core rod is preferably composed of a plurality of core rod segments, which are intermittently arranged in the axial direction within the Ringzonenrohres. The segmentation of the core rod allows for any length of core lengths.
- an annular gap with a gap width in the range of preferably 0.5 to 2 mm preferably remains between the core rod and the annular zone tube.
- the ratio of outer diameter to inner diameter of the ring zone tube is preferably in the range between 1.4 and 1.8, with a preferred wall thickness between 2 and 12 mm.
- the length of the Ringzonenrohres is typically between 1 and 3 m, with multiple Ringzonenrohr sections can be intermittently welded together. embodiment
- Figure 1 is a diagram with radial concentration profiles of SiO 2 and fluorine in
- Figure 2 is a diagram with radial concentration profiles of SiO 2 and fluorine in
- a soot body is produced and subsequently doped with fluorine.
- a quartz glass cylinder having an outer diameter of 200 mm, an inner diameter of 80 mm is obtained, so that a ratio of outer diameter to inner diameter of 2.5 results.
- the quartz glass has an average hydroxyl group content of 0.1 ppm by weight and an average fluorine content of 6100 ppm by weight, which causes a reduction in the index of refraction relative to undoped quartz glass.
- the output cylinder is pulled out without tools to a ring zone tube with an outer diameter of 38 mm, an inner diameter of 25 mm and a wall thickness of 6.5 mm.
- the starting cylinder is supplied in hydrogen-free nitrogen atmosphere of an electric heating zone with a temperature of at least 2200 ° C and a length "L" of 170 mm at a feed rate "v" of 10 mm / min, so that for the quotient L / v Value of 10 min.
- the Ringzonenrohr obtained thereafter characterized by a smoothed by hot deformation tube inner surface with a particularly high surface quality. Due to the heating during the elongation process, a surface layer depleted of fluorine with a thickness of approximately 5 ⁇ m is formed in the region of the tube inner and outer surfaces of the annular zone tube. The corresponding concentration profile in the region of the outer surface is shown in FIG. 1. On the ordinate, the concentrations for fluorine (curve 2) and SiO 2 (curve 1) are plotted in relative units (based on the respective maximum concentration of SiO 2 and fluorine) and on the abscissa the radial position in
- fluorine depletion layer is defined as the layer thickness which has a fluorine concentration of less than 80% of the maximum value, the associated position being designated “B" in FIG.
- concentration of SiO 2 represents the reference point (zero point) for the position value.
- Concentration value associated zero point for the position is denoted by "A" in Figure 1.
- the layer thickness for the fluorine depletion layer thus results from the distance AB of the concentration profiles of fluorine and SiO 2 at the 80% concentration value in the near-surface region to 1 ⁇ the fluorine concentration is less than 2100 ppm by weight and the total thickness of the surface layer depleted of fluorine is in this case about 7 ⁇ m, which is acceptable for the cylinder outer jacket of the annular zone tube, but not optimal for the cylinder inner jacket.
- the inner surface of the annular zone tube having a fluorine depletion layer similar to the outer sheath after elongation is etched away by passing a hot gas stream of etching gas (SF 6 ) through the inner bore.
- SF 6 etching gas
- concentration profiles subsequently obtained on the inner wall are shown in FIG. From the comparison of the concentration profiles of SiO 2 (curve 2) and fluorine (curve 1) it can be seen that due to the removal of the inner surface, the strength of the fluorine depletion layer to the predetermined setpoint of about
- the average fluorine content within the fluorine depletion layer is more than 3000 ppm by weight and within an inner, near-surface region of 1 ⁇ it is about 2800 ppm by weight.
- the average chlorine content of the ring zone tube is 200 ppm by weight, and although the nominal hydroxyl group content of the quartz glass of the ring zone tube is 0.1 ppm by weight. As a result of the elongation process, however, it is increased near the surface to maximum values of 5 ppm by weight or more.
- a layer having a relatively high hydroxyl group content is removed, so that at the surface of the fluorine depletion layer, measured over a layer thickness of 1 ⁇ m, an average hydroxyl group of not more than 0.4 ppm by weight results.
- the ring zone tube thus obtained is used to trap a core rod in a rod-in-tube process. For this purpose, sections with the desired lengths are cut to length from the ring zone tube.
- the core rod has a GeO 2 -doped core region with a radius of 12 mm and is surrounded by an inner jacket of undoped quartz glass with a layer thickness of 5.5 mm.
- the core rod is inserted into the inner bore of the ring zone tube and this in turn enveloped with a jacket tube of undoped quartz glass with the refractive index n Ma , which has an outer diameter of 175 mm, an inner diameter of 40 mm and an average chlorine content of 1800 ppm by weight ,
- This coaxial arrangement of components is then introduced in a vertical orientation in a Ziehofen and it softens in zones beginning with the lower end and deducted from the softened area a fiber.
- the outer and inner "fluorine depletion layers" of the ring zone tube serve as "passivation layers", which reduce the outdiffusion of fluorine and thus prevent blistering in the region of the interfaces.
- the fluorine depletion layers contribute to a low-defect contact and interface with the core rod and the jacket tube.
- It is a bending-insensitive optical single-mode fiber drawn with an outer diameter of 125 ⁇ , which is characterized by an annular zone with high fluorine concentration, and which has a distance from the outer region of the core zone.
