Plasma Chemical Vapor

Deposition(PCVD)
How PCVD Works
Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition
Watch the video
PCVD is a plasma chemical vapor deposition process, where microwave is used to excite raw-material gas inside quartz substrate tube into plasma state, then chemical vapor deposition proceeds to form a homogeneous transparent glass layer on the inner wall of the tube, and eventually the tube with depositions is collapsed into a solid core rod through heating and negative pressure. PCVD has inherent advantages such as the precision control and high raw material utilization with regard to optical fibre preforms, and thus is more suitable for the production of core rods for optical fibre preforms with complex RI profile and higher technical requirements.
Vapor Axial Deposition(VAD)
How VAD Works
Vapor Axial Deposition
Watch the video
VAD is a vapor axial deposition process, where oxyhydrogen flame is used as the heat source to transform raw-material gas into glass powder, then the powder is dehydrated and sintered at high temperature to obtain a uniform, transparent master core rod, and eventually VAD core rod in proper size is formed through heating and stretching. Due to its high deposition rate and flexible doping control, VAD is superior in producing core rods for single-mode optical fibre preforms with simple RI profile.
Outside Vapor

How OVD Works
Outside Vapor Deposition
Watch the video
OVD is an outside vapor deposition process similar to VAD. In OVD process, oxyhydrogen flame is used as the heat source to transform raw-material gas into glass powder, then the powder is dehydrated and sintered at high temperature to obtain uniform, transparent quartz rods. OVD has a very high deposition rate, but the doping control is complicated. It is mostly used to deposit undoped optical fibre preform cladding or high-purity quartz materials.
Preform Fibre Drawing
How Fibre Drawing Works
Preform Fibre Drawing
Watch the video
Fibre drawing is a process where an optical fibre preform is drawn into a quartz fibre with a diameter of only 0.125 mm at a temperature above 2000 ℃, and then an optical fibre with a diameter of 0.25 mm that is covered with plastic coating is formed through such steps as annealing, cooling, coating, curing, twisting, and winding. In production, an optical fibre preform can be continuously drawn for 2 to 3 days, as a result of which a 10,000km-long optical fibre can be produced.
