Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a production method of an optical fiber to produce an optical fiber with low transmission loss and excellent hydrogen characteristics by controlling the line drawing speed to a specified range to the outer diameter of a preform. SOLUTION: In the production of an optical fiber by heating, melting and drawing a quartz glass preform comprising a core and a clad which is formed around the core and has a lower refractive index than that of the core to produce an optical fiber, the drawing speed V (m/min) is controlled to satisfy V>6.1D, wherein D is the outer diameter (mm) of the quartz glass preform. Moreover, it is preferable to increase the tension given to the preform during drawing with the increase of the outer diameter of the preform. The tension T during drawing is preferably controlled to T=0.752D±10g in relation with the outer diameter D of the quartz glass preform.

頼性の問題が発生していた。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in order to improve the productivity of optical fibers, the size of preforms has been rapidly increased. However, when the glass preform for an optical fiber is increased in size and the outer diameter is increased, there is a problem that transmission loss increases. Further, not only the transmission loss increases, but also glass defects generated in the glass increase, deteriorating the hydrogen characteristics (a phenomenon in which hydrogen diffused in the glass reacts with the defects in the glass to increase the transmission loss). There was a problem to do. For example, in order to draw a large-diameter glass preform and manufacture an optical fiber of 125 μm, a method is used in which the glass preform is heated in an electric furnace, the glass viscosity is reduced, and the heat-melted portion is stretched. . As the outer diameter of the preform increases,
Since the glass cannot be heated sufficiently and the same drawing is performed as before, the temperature has been increased to cope with the draw. But as a result,
Glass defects generated in the glass at the time of drawing are increased, transmission loss is increased, and hydrogen characteristics are also deteriorated, thus causing a problem of long-term reliability.

下する別の問題が発生した。Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-9490 discloses a guideline for preventing the occurrence of glass defects and obtaining an optical fiber having excellent long-term reliability. That is, one end of the optical fiber preform is heated at a temperature of 2000 ° C. or more to a temperature not lower than the softening temperature of the preform over a length L and a drawing speed V 1 ≧ L / 0.02
To drawing at a speed V 1 of the (s) it is disclosed. It is described that as a qualitative means to reduce glass defects, it is effective to reduce the base material radius, increase the drawing speed, shorten the drawing furnace length and lower the drawing furnace temperature. I have. Thickening the glass preform and raising the drawing furnace temperature would be contrary to the above,
It is considered that glass defects increased, leading to an increase in transmission loss and deterioration of hydrogen characteristics. When the temperature of the drawing furnace is reduced to reduce such glass defects, the viscosity of the glass increases, and another problem occurs in that the glass strength decreases when the drawing is forcibly performed.

And arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention relates to a method of heating and melting a quartz glass preform comprising a core and a clad having a lower refractive index than the core in a heating furnace and drawing the optical fiber into the optical fiber. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical fiber, characterized in that the drawing speed V (m / min) is set in a range of V> 6.1 D with respect to the outer diameter D (mm) of the optical fiber. If the drawing speed V is 6.1 D or less, the drawing speed is not sufficient for the outer diameter of the preform, and the time during which the preform and the fiber drawn therefrom are kept at a high temperature is prolonged, and the glass Defects are likely to be generated inside. For this reason, the hydrogen characteristics are deteriorated. On the other hand, if the drawing speed is too fast, the stress generated at the time of drawing is not sufficiently relaxed and is cooled, resulting in a decrease in strength due to residual stress or deterioration of transmission characteristics. A preferred range of the drawing speed is in the range of 13D>V> 6.1D. Further, it is preferable to increase the tension applied at the time of drawing in accordance with the increase in the outer diameter of the preform, since transmission loss is reduced. Further, the tension T at the time of drawing is set to T with respect to the outer diameter D of the quartz glass preform.

損失が低下する張力も増加していることがわかった。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the study of the present inventors, it has been found that the transmission loss of an optical fiber is affected by the drawing speed during drawing. FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the drawing speed and the transmission loss when the outer diameter of the preform is 70 mm. As the linear velocity increases, the transmission loss decreases and tends to saturate to a substantially constant value at around 400 m / min. At this time, the tension applied to the fiber was 50 to 70 g. Usually, even when the outer diameter of the preform changes, the drawing tension is generally kept constant. This is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-49858. However, as a result of careful investigation by the present inventors, it has been found that although the same tendency with respect to the linear velocity is observed even when the outer diameter of the preform changes, the drawing speed at which the transmission loss saturates varies depending on the preform size. . At this time, it was found that the tension applied to the fiber was not a constant value of 50 to 70 g, and the tension at which the transmission loss was reduced increased with the increase in the outer diameter of the preform.

が得られることが確認された。FIG. 1 shows the minimum drawing speed at which the transmission loss is saturated plotted against the outer diameter of the preform. It can be seen that there is a substantially linear relationship. In FIG.
It is above the straight line that shows good transmission loss. FIG.
The tension T applied at the time of drawing to the plot was 20 to 30 g, 45 to 55 g, and 65 to 75 g for the preform outer diameters of 35 mm, 70 mm, and 100 mm, respectively. This relationship is substantially linear, and has a relationship of T = 0.552D with respect to the preform outer diameter D. The allowable range is preferably ± 10 g, more preferably ± 5 g.
Is good. That is, even if the outer diameter of the preform becomes large and the temperature of the drawing furnace is increased for drawing, the drawing speed is set to be equal to or higher than the drawing speed corresponding to FIG. The formation of defects is suppressed, and a fiber with good transmission loss can be manufactured stably. At this time, it was confirmed that good hydrogen characteristics were obtained.
