Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the optical fiber field. The optical fiber comprises a quartz optical fiber; the outer surface of the quartz optical fiber is coated with an inner coating and an outer coating sequentially from inside to outside. The optical fiber is characterized in that the glass-transition temperature of a coating materialused for the inner coating ranges from -50 DEG C to -70 DEG C, the refractive index of the coating material used for the inner coating ranges from 1.4 to 1.5, and the post-curing elastic modulus of the coating material of the inner coating ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 MPa; the refractive index of a coating material used for the outer coating ranges from 1.5 to 1.6, and the post-curing elastic modulus ofthe coating material used for the outer coating is 800 MPa or more; the coating material used for the inner coating and the coating material used for the outer coating have different refractive indexes; and the inner coating and the outer coating are both formed by means of ultraviolet curing. The optical fiber can satisfy low attenuation performance and good coating performance required by national standards, can be applicable to a low temperature environment of -70 DEG C to -80 DEG C, and therefore, the temperature application range of the optical fiber can be extended; the preparation process of the optical fiber involves the extremely cold-resistant optical fiber coating materials, the drawing process of the optical fiber is improved, and curing time is reduced, and therefore, preparation process time can be shortened, and preparation efficiency is higher. The preparation method is suitable for continuous production in large quantities.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fibers, in particular to an optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Recently, with the rapid development of special optical fiber technology, its application range has been extended to various harsh environment systems such as high temperature, and the requirements for optical and mechanical properties of optical fibers are also increasing. Good optical properties, better play a role in aerospace, military and other fields. At present, relevant people in the industry have conducted a lot of research and production on high-temperature resistant optical fibers, but there are relatively few researches on optical fibers that can adapt to low temperature or even extreme cold conditions. [0003] Patent 201310441152.0 discloses a high-temperature-resistant optical fiber with an operating temperature range of -65 to 300°C. The polyimide coating is an aromatic heterocyclic pol...
