Problems solved by technology

However, before the organic coating is applied, microcracks are inevitably generated on the surface of the optical fiber during the drawing process, and these microcracks will reduce the tensile strength of the optical fiber; and during use, these microcracks will continue to expand , so that the mechanical strength of the fiber gradually decreases
At the same time, after microcracks appear in the optical fiber, breakpoints are usually formed inside the optical fiber. Although it does not appear to be broken on the surface, it actually affects the transmission of light. When the light encounters a breakpoint, it will reflect and affect the transmission.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of silica optical fiber, in particular to a silica optical fiber and a preparation method and device thereof. Background technique [0002] The optical fiber is composed of a bare optical fiber and a resin layer wrapped on the outside of the bare optical fiber. At this time, the tensile force of the optical fiber can only withstand a force of 5-6kg. When the external force exceeds this range, the optical fiber will break. [0003] The tensile strength of optical fiber is an important performance parameter of optical fiber transmission. If the optical fiber is broken, the signal will not be transmitted directly. Therefore, it is an important link to increase the tensile strength of optical fiber and thus improve the reliability of optical fiber use. [0004] Coating a dense coating on the surface of the optical fiber can seal the optical fiber from external erosion, resulting in high fatigue resistance parame...
