Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a quartz optical fiber, and in particular, relates to a preparation method of a high-strength quartz optical fiber, wherein the method is used for overcoming the defect that the strength of an existing quartz optical fiber cannot meet the requirements of special application occasions. The preparation method of the high-strength quartz optical fiber comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out mechanical polishing on a quartz preform with the diameter size of 20-35 mm until the roughness is 6-8 [mu]m after polishing, then carrying out flame polishing until the roughness is 4-6 [mu]m after polishing, gradually reducing the heating temperature in a manner of gradually reducing the flow of hydrogen in oxyhydrogen flame, standing the quartz preform to room temperature after stopping heating, carrying out acid pickling treatment on the quartz preform, carrying out wire drawing at a wire drawing speed of 3-10 m / min, annealing a bare optical fiber output from an outlet of a wire drawing furnace at an annealing section length of 600 mm and an annealing temperature of 300-500 DEG C, and finally coating the bare optical fiber.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of silica optical fiber, in particular to a preparation method of high-strength silica optical fiber. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber materials have been favored by many researchers because of their advantages such as light weight, small size, anti-electromagnetic interference, and large transmission information capacity, and are widely used in various fields such as electronics, medical treatment, bioengineering, material processing, and sensing technology. However, for some special applications, the brittleness of the existing silica fiber leads to its poor mechanical strength and is easy to break. Therefore, the development of high-strength silica fiber is the key to further develop the application field of silica fiber. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiency that the strength of the existing silica optical fiber cannot meet the re...
