Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are methods for manufacturing a precursor for a primary preform for optical fibers via an internal plasma deposition process. An exemplary method includes creating a first plasma reaction zone having first reaction conditions in the interior of a hollow substrate tube to deposit non-vitrified silica layers on the inner surface of the hollow substrate tube, and subsequently creating a second plasma reaction zone having second reaction conditions in the interior of the hollow substrate tube to deposit vitrified silica layers on the deposited, non-vitrified silica layers. Thereafter, the hollow substrate tube is removed from the deposited, vitrified silica layers to yield a deposited tube.
