Abstract

The invention discloses a high attenuation optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. The refractive index profile of a core cladding of the high attenuation optical fiber is a step-type structure, and the change rate of the fiber core refractive index is between 1% to 15%. A core layer contains two or more metal elements with unfilled valence layer d orbitals. The metal elements are transition metal elements of Groups 4 to 10 of the periodic table. The preparation method comprises the steps of (1) mixing a first phase containing the metal elements at a formulation ratio with a second phase containing a loose quartz glass powder as a main component to form a uniform solid phase; (2) preparing a solid transparent glass body from the uniform solid phase; and (3) using the solid transparent glass body as an optical fiber preform mandrel to prepare a high attenuation optical fiber preform and draw the high attenuation optical fiber preform into the high attenuation optical fiber. Thehigh attenuation optical fiber has flat attenuation spectra and good stability in optical fiber communication bands O, E, S, C, and L, the high attenuation optical fiber can meet the application requirements of an optical fiber communication network, an optical fiber data network, an optical fiber CATV network and an optical fiber test system, and improve the system performance.
