- 1 is a sectional view of FIG.
- the optical fiber preform 1 rotates around the core axis of the core portion 11 at a rotational speed r [rpm].
- the number of burners N 3, and the burner array 4 includes three burners 41 to 43.
- the burner array 4 moves in the X direction at a moving speed v [mm/min] and deposits the porous glass portion 13 on the optical fiber preform 1 .
- L+x is the rotation speed of the optical fiber preform 1 and can be set by the operator.
- the rotation speed L is a natural number representing the integer part of the rotation speed of the optical fiber preform 1
- the rotation speed L controls the cycle of the flame trajectory of the burner 41 in the X direction. As the rotational speed L increases, the period of the trajectory of the flame of the burner 41 in the X direction becomes smaller, and the density of the glass particles deposited on the sides of the core part 11 by the burners 41 to 4N increases. As the rotational speed L decreases, the period of the trajectory of the flame of the burner 41 in the X direction increases, and the density of glass particles deposited on the sides of the core portion 11 by the burners 41 to 4N decreases.
- the rotation speed L may be determined according to the number N of burners and the distance d between the burners, or may be determined according to the deposition density of the porous glass portion 13 or the time required for the deposition process.
- the rotation speed L does not necessarily have to be constant and can be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be determined depending on the amount of accumulation, surface roughness, etc. of the porous glass portion 13. However, while the burner array 4 moves from one end of the optical fiber preform 1 to the other end and deposits glass particles, it is desirable that the rotation speed L is constant.
- the trajectory of the flame of the burner 41 overlaps with a point P on the side of the optical fiber preform 1. Since the burner 42 and the burner 43 are provided at a distance d and a distance 2d from the burner 41, respectively, the trajectory of the flame of the burner 42 and the trajectory of the flame of the burner 43 are a distance d and a distance 2d, respectively, from the point P in the X direction. It passes through a position 2d away.
- the offset x controls the distance of the flame trajectory of the burners 41-4N.
- the offset x is 0, the flame trajectories of the burners 41 to 4N overlap each other. If the trajectories of all the flames of the burners 41 to 4N overlap, the surface irregularities of the optical fiber preform 1 may become large. For this reason, consider the value of the offset x that will make the trajectories of the flames of the burners 41 to 4N evenly spaced and reduce the unevenness on the surface of the optical fiber preform 1.
- the distance in the X direction between point P and each flame trajectory is determined.
- the optical fiber base material 1 rotates once with reference to when the trajectory of the flame of the burner 41 overlaps with the point P
- the trajectory of the flame of the burner 41 is a distance from the point P in the X direction as shown by equation (1).
- Move d/(L+x) When the optical fiber preform 1 rotates L, the trajectory of the flame of the burner 42 and the point P are located on substantially the same straight line in the X direction. At this time, the distance in the X direction between the trajectory of the flame of the burner 42 and the point P is expressed by the following formula.
- the trajectory of the flame of the burner 4N and the point P are located on substantially the same straight line in the X direction.
- the distance in the X direction between the trajectory of the flame of the burner 4N and the point P is expressed by the following formula.
- equation (4) the ratio of the distance between the flame trajectory of burner 41 and the flame trajectory of burner 42 and the distance between the flame trajectory of burner 41 and the flame trajectory of burner 4N can be obtained. It will be done.
- the value of offset x is a value excluding 0, and is preferably set to a value greater than -1/(N-1) and smaller than +1/(N-1), and set to ⁇ 1/N. It is more preferable that
- equation (2) (distance between the trajectory of the flame of burner 41 and the trajectory of the flame of burner 42), equation (4) (distance between the trajectory of the flame of burner 41 and the flame trajectory of burner 44), (distance), and the value of equation (5).
- 6A to 6D are developed views of the trajectories of the flames of the burners 41 to 44 formed on the sides of the optical fiber preform 1 in this embodiment.
- a developed view of the trajectory of the flames of the burners 41 to 44 is shown.
