| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a method and a device in the manufacture of an optical fibre ( 11 ), in which manufacture a fibre preform ( 12 ) is placed vertically in a drawing furnace ( 10 ) or the like, in which drawing furnace ( 10 ) the preform ( 12 ) is heated in a heating zone in such a way that a thin fibre ( 11 ) is formed of the molten zone ( 16 ) forming at the lower end of the preform ( 12 ) by means of gravity and/or downwards drawing of the fibre ( 11 ), and the forming fibre ( 11 ) is guided to cool down in a controlled manner in an extension tube ( 19 ) following the healing zone. According to the invention, after said heating zone, on the path of the molten or still partly molten fibre ( 11 ), the extension tube ( 19 ) is provided with a thermophoretic collector ( 20, 30, 40 ) which comprises one or more cooled means ( 21, 31, 41 ) to thermophoretically deposit, on its surface, impurities contained in the gas flow ( 18 ) surrounding the fibre ( 111 ).
