Abstract

The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a low-melting-point glass optical fiber perform coating sleeve pipe. The method belongs to the technical field of glass optical fiber manufacturing. The method is characterized in that the preparation of the coating sleeve pipe comprises the steps that: (1) low-melting-point glass is molten, cooled, and crushed; and the glass is preserved for later use; (2) the low-melting-point glass is weighed and placed in a quartz tube; (3) the loaded quartz tube is vacuumed and sealed; (4) the sealed quartz tube is heated in a rocking furnace, such that the glass in the tube is molten into liquid; (5) an electric furnace rocking switch is tuned on, such that the glass liquid is well mixed; (6) the electric furnace is opened, the quartz tube is rapidly fetched and horizontally placed in a rotation device; the quartz tube is fixed, and high-speed rotation is carried out; (7) the quartz tube is fetched, and is rapidly annealed in an annealing furnace; and (8) the quartz tube is cracked, such that the coating sleeve pipe obtained. The method has the advantages that the manufactured coating sleeve pipe has smooth and non-polluted inner surface, controllable inner and outer diameters, and no bubble and line inside.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an optical fiber prefabricated rod cladding sleeve, and belongs to the technical field of glass optical fiber manufacturing. It is especially suitable for the production of low-melting point glass optical fiber preform cladding sleeves of various substrates. Background technique [0002] With the gradual maturity of infrared optical material preparation technology and the increasing development of infrared light sources, infrared optical products are growing explosively. Because heavy metal oxides, oxyhalides, halides, and chalcogenides have good transmission properties in low-melting glass fibers such as air-transparent mid-wave infrared (3-5 microns) and long-wave infrared (8-12 microns), so in Optical fiber communication, infrared detection, chemical sensing analysis, infrared imaging, infrared laser transmission, biomedicine and other fields have shown great application value. [0003] The tradi...
