Problems solved by technology

[0006] At the same time, due to the high-temperature viscosity mismatch of the fiber material components, the fiber structure is incomplete, which seriously affects the reduction of fiber transmission loss, and it is difficult to achieve low-attenuation fiber manufacturing; on the other hand, the high-temperature viscosity mismatch is due to the core-clad material With different characteristic temperatures such as glass softening temperature and transformation temperature, during the drawing process, different specific temperatures of the core will cause a large residual stress in the optical fiber
This not only destroys the designed waveguide structure, but also affects the strength and service life of the optical fiber

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical fiber and a manufacturing method of optical fiber. The optical fiber comprises a core layer and a coating layer, the optical fiber is characterized in that the average refractive index n1 of the core layer, the refractive index n2 of the coating layer and the refractive index n0 of pure silicon dioxide meet the following formula: n1 is equal to (0.997-1.0012)*n0, and n2 is equal to n1-(0.0025-0.0045)*n0; the core layer is a core layer doped with alkali metal ions or a core layer doped with no alkali metal ions, and the coating layer is composed of a silicon dioxide base material doped with fluorine and chlorine and containing a hydroxyl radical; and the fluorine doping concentration difference delta [F] of the materials of the coating layer and the core layer, the hydroxyl radical concentration difference delta [OH] of the materials of the core layer and the coating layer, the fluorine doping concentration difference delta [Cl] of the materials of the core layer and the coating layer and the alkali metal ion doping concentration sum [M] of the material of the core layer meet the following formulation: delta [F]-delta [Cl]-300*[M]-150000* delta [OH] <=0.8 mol%. According to the invention, the doping ingredients and the concentration difference are controlled to match the high temperature viscosity of the materials of the core layer and the coating layer of the optical fiber so as to obtain a single mode optical fiber with reduced Rayleigh scattering attenuation, and the scattering coefficient of the optical fiber is reduced to be not larger than 0.85 so as to effectively reduce the transmission dissipation of the optical fiber.
