Abstract

In this paper, a novel fiber manufacturing process based on PCVD is introduced. The fiber drawing length per preform can reach more than 5,000 km and the cost is lower. The fiber shows better optical and geometrical properties. Such large size preform combines the advantages of PCVD process for high quality and OVD process for low cost. This PCVD RIC process will be helpful for increasing the ability of inside vapor deposition process.
