Control of Glass-Forming Process During Fiber-Drawing to Reduce the Rayleigh Scattering Loss

Limit of the Rayleigh scattering loss in Ge‐doped silica core fiber was estimated from the results of structural relaxation and the Rayleigh scattering measurements, and the most suitable fiber‐drawing condition to reduce the Rayleigh scattering loss was determined. An annealing furnace, which could...

Description
Summary:Limit of the Rayleigh scattering loss in Ge‐doped silica core fiber was estimated from the results of structural relaxation and the Rayleigh scattering measurements, and the most suitable fiber‐drawing condition to reduce the Rayleigh scattering loss was determined. An annealing furnace, which could be attached to a fiber‐drawing tower, was developed for realizing the optimum fiber‐drawing condition. Drawing tests with this furnace confirmed our estimation of the loss.
