Abstract

The invention discloses a radiation-resistant optical fiber preparation method, and relates to the field of optical fiber manufacturing. The method includes the following steps: sequentially preforming annealing, hydrogen loading and pre-irradiation pretreatment on an optical fiber preform; preforming wire-drawing on the pretreated optical fiber preform to obtain a radiation-resistant single-modeoptical fiber or a radiation-resistant multi-mode optical fiber. The method can completely eliminate the material defects in quartz glass, inhibit the uneven stress distribution in the optical fiber preform, and reduce the attenuation of the wire-drawn optical fiber; and meanwhile, the radiation sensitivity of the optical fiber can be effectively reduced, and the rapid preparation of the radiation-resistant optical fiber is facilitated; and the radiation-resistant level of the wire-drawn optical fiber as a whole is improved, so that the method is beneficial to realizing large-scale manufacturing of the radiation-resistant optical fiber. In addition, the method does not limit the types of optical fiber preforms and has wide application range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a radiation-resistant optical fiber. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of modern communication technology, communication equipment used under special environmental conditions requires higher data transmission volume and transmission speed. In aerospace, nuclear power engineering, medical equipment and other fields, due to the existence or use of radioactive sources / high-energy particle rays, strict requirements are placed on communication media (especially optical fiber cables themselves). In the irradiation condition, the radiation rays that mainly threaten communication equipment and communication optical fibers are gamma rays. In the optical fiber in the irradiated environment, the main quartz material is affected by γ-rays to generate free electrons and holes, which are captured by the oppositely charge...
