Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber, and more particularly relates to a method for efficiently producing a low water peak single-mode optical fiber. Background technique
[0002] The window of optical fiber communication is in the range of 1260nm to 1675nm, but there is a high water absorption peak around 1383nm in conventional optical fiber, which makes the spectral region of 1350-1550nm unusable due to too high attenuation.
[0003] The hydroxide radicals in the quartz glass have a great influence on the optical fiber absorption loss. Such as quartz glass containing water 1 × 10 -6 It causes strong absorption at the wavelength of 2.72μm, resulting in an attenuation of 10000dB / km. The reason is caused by the basic elongation vibration mode of hydroxide. Hydroxide ions have great deformability and are prone to vibration absorption, and the degree and scope of their influence are large. If there is -Si-OH in quartz glass, the absorption peak g...
