Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method of making an optical fiber preform via multiple plasma depositing and sintering steps." This method involves producing an optical fiber preform starting with a first-generation target typically comprising pure silica. A plasma torch deposits an annular region of doped silica to form an intermediate structure. The intermediate structure is drawn down to a second-generation target, and another annular region of doped silica is deposited. This process is repeated multiple times until an Nth generation target is formed. The deposition may also employ repeated cycles of depositing layers of silica at a high traversal rate without sintering, followed by periodic sintering. Additionally, stabilizer bars extending from the plasma coils improve the distribution of the deposition material. Another embodiment injects the source gas into a specific region of the plasma for controlling soot deposition.
His second patent is titled "Method of making a tubular member for optical fiber production using plasma outside vapor deposition." This apparatus and method produce a tubular member suitable for use as a starter tube or an optical fiber preform on a rotating cylindrical target mounted on a lathe. The tubular member is created through plasma outside vapor deposition. In this process, a source gas comprising SiCl and, optionally, a fluorine-laden chemical, is introduced into an air plasma. Both the air and the source gas are dry gases with low hydroxyl content. The air plasma is generated by a high-frequency induction plasma torch that travels along the length of the target on a carriage. The torch is equipped with a short U-shaped gutter on either side of its rim, which helps channel reaction products of the source gas and plasma to enhance deposition on the growing tubular member.
