However, the Ga 2 S 3 -La 2 S 3 -La 2 o 3 OH in oxygen sulfur system glass - The impurity content is too high, which affects the infrared transmission characteristics of the optical fiber
[0005] A kind of sulfur halide glass disclosed in the CN1034494 patent, its composition contains As, Pb and other harmful elements to the human body and the environment, the glass hardness is low, and because it contains halogen elements such as Br and I, its chemical stability is relatively poor, Due to the high content of halogen elements in the glass component, the optical fiber is easy to crystallize and the halogen is easy to volatilize during the drawing and reheating process, resulting in poor transparency of the optical fiber and large refractive index error

Embodiment 1

[0036] A chalcogenide glass for infrared optical fiber, the specific preparation method is as follows:

[0037] (1) Pretreatment of quartz tube:

[0038] Clean the quartz tube in an ultrasonic cleaner for 15min to 45min, wash it with deionized water for 1 to 2 times, soak it in 25 hydrofluoric acid for 15min to 60min, rinse it with deionized water for 3 times, and then wash it at 200℃ Drying, and finally drying in a vacuum oven at 1000°C for 2 to 5 hours;

[0039] (2) Pretreatment of glass raw material S:

[0040] Distillation is usually used to purify glass raw materials. Considering that S powder contains more impurities, it is mainly processed for S powder. Using high-purity raw materials with an S content greater than 99.999%, heat a U-shaped quartz tube with S on one side to 80-105°C under vacuum to remove moisture as much as possible. Then place one side of the U-shaped quartz tube with S at 350-400°C and the other side at room temperature to sublimate and purify S to...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of infrared optical fiber matrix materials, in particular to a chalcogenide glass for infrared optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of infrared and laser technology, optical fibers with infrared transmission properties have been increasingly widely used in the fields of infrared sensing, infrared thermal imaging, infrared spectrum analysis, infrared laser power transmission, etc., in order to realize infrared remote sensing, telemetry And laser power transmission and other functions. Although silica fiber is widely used in the field of optical communication, it is not suitable for applications in the field of medium and long-wave infrared optics because its optical transmission wavelength does not exceed 2.3 μm. [0003] Compared with oxide glass, chalcogenide glass has larger mass and weaker bond strength, so it has excellent infrared...
