The present invention relates to a
processing method for preparing a smooth end face of a
microstructure optical fiber, and the steps are as follows: 1. inserting the end of the
optical fiber to be processed vertically into a concentrated
sulfuric acid corrosive solution, and removing the
coating layer of the
optical fiber when an
inert gas is introduced into the optical
fiber air hole at the other end of the optical
fiber, so as to obtain a bare optical
fiber of a required length; 2. preliminarily rinsing the corroded optical fiber end with
distilled water; 3. placing the optical fiber end in an ultrasonic cleaning
machine for deep cleaning; 4. vertically inserting the bare optical fiber end to be processed into the corrosive solution, and removing the end face of the bare optical fiber when an
inert gas is introduced into the optical fiber air hole at the other end of the optical fiber; 5. preliminarily rinsing the corroded bare optical fiber end with
distilled water; 6. placing the bare optical fiber end in an ultrasonic cleaning
machine for deep cleaning; 7.
drying the optical fiber end after deep cleaning to complete the end face
smoothing of the optical fiber. The present invention can obtain a smooth
microstructure optical fiber end face on the one hand, and will not cause damage to the optical fiber on the other hand.
