Light and electricity co-transmission fiber and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a light-electricity synchronous conduction fiber which comprises an optical fiber, an external wrapping layer which is wrapped outside the optical fiber and is made from an organic polymer, one or a plurality of wires which are embedded in the external wrapping layer and parallel with the optical fiber. The light-electricity synchronous conduction fiber of the invention adopts the optical fiber to realize the light guide function, and the electric conduction function of the light-electricity synchronous conduction fiber is realized by the wires embedded in the external wrapping layer, the optical fiber and the wires are integrated into the light-electricity synchronous conduction fiber through the external wrapping layer made from the organic polymer, the external wrapping layer plays a role in fixing and protecting the optical fiber and the wires. The number and arrangement mode of the wires can be flexibly designed to fit for all application requirements. Compared with the conventional optical fiber with a protective layer, the light-electricity synchronous conduction fiber is provided with the electric conduction function based on the light guide function. Compared with an optical cable with the optical fiber and a lead of hybrid packaging, the light-electricity synchronous conduction fiber is characterized by light-electricity integration, and reduced volume and weight.
