2. Description of the Related Art As optical fiber networks spread and optical fibers are used in many places, optical fibers for various purposes are required. For example, hundreds of meters to hundreds of kilometers
Is an optical fiber whose dispersion value and MFD gradually change in the length direction of the fiber. Conventionally, this type of optical fiber has been manufactured as follows. First, a GeO 2 -doped SiO 2 porous glass preform having a desired refractive index distribution is manufactured by the VAD method. This porous glass preform is dehydrated in an atmosphere of He and chlorine-based gas at about 1000 ° C., and then made into a transparent glass in an atmosphere of He at about 1500 ° C. This rod is stretched to form a core preform, and a porous glass layer made of pure SiO 2 for cladding is externally attached to the core preform, and similarly dehydrated and transparent vitrified to form an optical fiber preform. Since this optical fiber preform is made uniform both structurally and compositionally in the length direction, the optical fiber diameter can be gradually changed by changing, for example, the descending speed of the optical fiber preform during drawing. Change.
In this way, an optical fiber whose separation value and MFD gradually change in the length direction is obtained.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to obtain an optical fiber for an optical component having a dispersion value or MFD changed in the length direction by a relatively simple method from the above viewpoint. According to the first aspect of the present invention, a silica glass rod is prepared in which the diameter of the core portion and the diameter of the cladding portion are both uniform in the length direction, and the outer peripheral portion of the cladding portion of this rod is cut. To form a tapered rod, and to extend the tapered rod to form an optical fiber preform having a uniform outer diameter, and then draw an optical fiber having a uniform outer diameter. In order to extend the tapered rod to form an optical fiber preform having a uniform outer diameter, for example, the following may be performed. That is, the rod is positioned vertically and passed through a cylindrical heating furnace. At that time, the chuck holds the upper and lower ends of the rod. Both the upper chuck and the lower chuck are movable chucks that can traverse the length direction of the rod, and the rod having a larger diameter is grasped by the upper chuck and the rod having a smaller diameter is grasped by the lower chuck. Under such a configuration, the lowering speed of the lower chuck is made higher than the lowering speed of the upper chuck. As a result, the core portion changes in the lengthwise direction, and the clad portion outer diameter becomes a stretched base material having a uniform lengthwise direction. The refractive index distribution of the core may be constant in the length direction, regardless of whether it is a step type or a graded type.
Further, it may be arbitrary.

Since the length of the rod is as short as 50 to 200 mm at the most, it is relatively easy to cut the rod into a taper shape, and the drawing speed is set so that the taper-cut rod has a uniform outer diameter. Since it is relatively easy to gradually change, it is possible to easily obtain an optical fiber preform having a uniform outer diameter in the length direction. Thus, the diameter of the core portion changes in the length direction, and an optical fiber preform having a uniform outer diameter can be easily obtained.
