Problems solved by technology

However, even if the coating resin is in a stable state after curing, slight residual stress and residual deformation will physically occur in the coating resin due to the stress and deformation reapplied to the optical fiber during operations such as rewinding or temperature changes. , if this residual stress / strain is not uniformly distributed in the fiber, a transmission loss called microbending loss sometimes occurs

Embodiment 1~4 and comparative example 1~3

[0076] As Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the Young's modulus of the primary coating layer, the Young's modulus of the secondary coating layer, and the tin content rate in the primary coating layer are based on the physical properties shown in Table 1 below. In this method, a coating layer is formed on a glass optical fiber whose core and cladding layer are both glass using an appropriately selected ultraviolet curable resin composition to produce a coated optical fiber.

[0077] It should be noted that the composition of the ultraviolet curable resin used to form the primary coating layer contains (A) an aliphatic polyol with a molecular weight of 3500 or less, an organic polyisocyanate, a hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylate, and a γ-mercaptopropyl group. A (meth)acryloyl carbamate oligomer obtained by reacting trimethoxysilane; (B) a reactive diluent whose glass transition temperature is below 0°C when polymerized with at least one monomer; and (C) an u...

Abstract

The present invention provides a coated optical fiber excellent in both anti-microbending loss characteristics and low-temperature characteristics. A coated optical fiber (1) comprising an optical fiber (10) having a cladding layer made of glass formed on the outer periphery of a glass core, a primary coating layer (20) covering the outer periphery of the optical fiber (10), and a primary coating layer ( 20) the secondary coating layer (30) on the periphery, wherein the Young's modulus of the primary coating layer (20) is 1.2 MPa or less, the Young's modulus of the secondary coating layer (30) is 700 MPa or more, and the primary coating layer The tin content in (20) is 70 ppm or less.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a coated optical fiber provided with a primary coating layer and a secondary coating layer on the outer periphery of the optical fiber. Background technique [0002] The coated optical fiber is coated with a resin on an optical fiber obtained by hot-melt spinning glass for the purpose of protection and reinforcement. However, even if the coating resin is in a stable state after curing, slight residual stress and residual deformation will physically occur in the coating resin due to the stress and deformation reapplied to the optical fiber during operations such as rewinding or temperature changes. , if the distribution of the residual stress / strain in the optical fiber is not uniform, a transmission loss called microbending loss may occur. [0003] As a method for preventing the transmission of the external force that becomes the cause of the above-mentioned microbending loss to the optical fiber, it is known to increa...
