- Ar gas for sealing is 3 liter / min in the second port of Pana, 30 liter / min of gas in the third port of Pana, and 3 liter / min of Ar gas in the fourth port of the burner.
- the fifth port PANA supplied respectively 0 2 at 18 l / min.
- the H 2 Mako respectively provided port one preparative supplies 0 2, to form the outer flame by 3 ⁇ 4 and 0 2 is supplied.
- the porous material is manufactured by depositing glass particles on the starting material for 7 hours. A porous material with a mass of 3500 g, an average outer diameter of 16 cm and a length of 80 cm is obtained. From the ratio of the mass of the porous body to the mass of the raw material powder supplied to the wrench, the yield of the raw material powder is required to be 80%. The obtained porous body is dehydrated and made transparent in the same manner as in Example 1. No bubbles exist in the obtained transparent glass material, and no light absorption in the 2.7 ffi band due to the presence of the Si0H group is observed.
- the transparent glass material as a core material further obtain optical Huai Bruno preform to form a clad made of fluorine-doped Si0 2 glass on the outer peripheral surface of the core material by using a 0VD methods known manner.
- a single-mode optical fiber having a core diameter of 9 and a relative refractive index difference of 0.35% is manufactured from this preform.
- the transmission loss of the resulting fiber is 0.25 dB / km with an increase in light absorption in the 1.38 in band due to the 0H group.
- the obtained optical fiber Furthermore, in the obtained optical fiber, absorption due to impurities contained in the glass or defects in the glass was not observed in the 0.6 to 1.8 m band, and SiCl 4 or the like was obtained by the conventionally known VAD method and the 0VD method. It has optical characteristics equivalent to those of an optical fiber manufactured by using the same.
- S i0 2 powder (trade name AER0SIL (TM) R202 (DEGUSSA Corporation)) You.
- the average size of the particles of this powder is 0.014, and the specific surface area is 200 m 2 / g.
- the hydroxyl groups on the particle surface have been converted into 10-Si ((C) 2 ) -0- groups.
- the method of fluidizing the raw material and the type and flow rate of gas flowing to each port of the wrench are the same as in Example 3.
- the glass particles are deposited on the starting material for 6 hours to produce a porous body.
- a porous body with a mass of 3200 g, an average outer diameter of 16 cm and a length of 80 cm is obtained. From the ratio of the mass of the porous body to the mass of the raw material powder supplied to the parner, it is required that the yield of the raw material powder be 84%.
- the reason why the deposition rate of the raw material powder on the starting material is higher than in Example 3 is that the heat generated by the oxidation of the organic groups present on the particle surface of the raw material powder in the perna flame is generated. It is considered that the temperature of the raw material powder is further increased.
- the obtained porous body is dehydrated and made transparent in the same manner as in Example 1. No bubbles are present in the obtained transparent glass material, and no light absorption in the 2.7 band due to the presence of SiOH groups is observed. (Comparative example)
- SiCl 4 is used as a glass material.
- a raw material supply system instead of the raw material powder storage tank and the raw material powder supply line in FIG. 1, a liquid raw material storage tank having a structure capable of bubbling a carrier gas into the raw material, and a vaporized raw material and An apparatus having a material supply line for supplying carrier gas from this tank to the central port of the wrench is used.
- the glass particles are deposited on the starting material for 7 hours to produce a porous body.
- a porous body with a mass of 2500 g, an average outer diameter of 15 cm and a length of 60 cm is obtained. From the ratio of the mass of the porous body to the mass of SiCl 4 supplied to the parner, it is determined that the yield of SiCU is 60 mol%.
- the obtained porous body is dehydrated and made transparent in the same manner as in Example 1. No bubbles exist in the obtained transparent glass material, and no light absorption in the 2.7 ⁇ band due to the presence of SiOH groups is observed.
- SiCl 4 and stored in the liquid raw material storage tank, by bubbling Ar gas to vaporize SiCl 4 in the SiCl 4.
- the mixture of vaporized SiCl 4 and Ar gas as a carrier gas is sent through the raw material supply line, mixed with the gas supplied from the mixing gas supply line on the way, and supplied into the flame from the central port of the wrench .
- Feed rate to the PANA central port of each of these components, SiCH is 10 g / min in terms of Si0 2
- 3 ⁇ 4 gas used as a mixed gas is 1 liter / min.
- the transparent glass material obtained by the method of the present invention can be used as a glass base material for optical fibers, a silica glass product having heat resistance, or a raw material thereof.
