Abstract

The invention discloses a manufacturing process for a high-temperature resistant optical fiber. The manufacturing process sequentially comprises the following steps of (1) melting and wiredrawing an optical wand by adopting a graphite furnace; (2) performing annealing and cooling after melting and wiredrawing, and coating an acrylic resin coating for once to obtain an optical fiber by using a single-layer coating die; (3) curing the optical fiber with the acrylic resin coating by using ultraviolet light; and (4) winding the cured optical fiber onto a take-up device. According to the process, acrylic resin is used for one time single-layer coating, so that a coating manufacturing process for the optical fiber is simplified; in addition, due to the uniformity of the single coating material, the stability of temperature resistance of the optical fiber at environmental temperature of 150 DEG C is ensured, and the optical fiber can be used for a long time in a severe environment; and the high-temperature resistant optical fiber manufactured by the process has screening strength of 100 or 200kpsi and a Nd typical value of more than 20, and is suitable for long-distance long-span application, and a commercial segment length of more than 60km can be provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber, in particular to a manufacturing process of a high temperature resistant optical fiber. Background technique [0002] With the expansion of optical fiber application fields, more applications in special environments such as high temperature have been promoted. Such as downhole applications in oil and gas fields, high temperature detection, aerospace military industry and so on. At present, conventional optical fibers can only guarantee the long-term service life at an ambient temperature of -60 to 85 degrees, and cannot meet the reliability at higher temperatures. [0003] In the design of high-temperature optical fibers, high-temperature-resistant acrylic resin, silicone rubber, polyimide, polyetheretherketone, etc. are commonly used as coating materials; and different coating processes are used to manufacture to meet the performance at different temperatures.
