Description

High-temperature-resistant optical fiber and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber processing, relates to an optical fiber and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a high-temperature resistant optical fiber and a preparation method thereof, and particularly relates to a low-loss high-temperature resistant optical fiber and a high-speed drawing preparation method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of the optical communication field, optical fibers have been widely used as base materials in many fields. Different application scenes have different requirements on the performance of the optical fiber, for example, the high-temperature fields such as high-temperature sensing, oil and gas field wells and the like have special requirements on the temperature resistance of the optical fiber. The conventional optical fiber can only ensure the long-term service life at the ambient temperature of-60-85 ℃ at present, and cannot meet the use reliability at higher temperature. In order to meet the use requirements in high temperature environments, the optical fiber must maintain optical properties, mechanical strength, and reliability consistent or similar to those in normal temperature and normal use environments.
In the design of high-temperature resistant optical fibers, high-temperature resistant acrylic resin, silicone rubber, polyimide and the like are generally used as coating materials; and different coating processes are adopted for manufacturing, so that the service performance at different temperatures is met. Such fibers have low optical loss at optical wavelengths of 1310nm and 1550nm, typically less than 0.5 dB/km. Acrylate coated optical fibers are widely used for optical fiber communication and the maximum temperature at which they can operate normally is 85 ℃. However, when the temperature exceeds 85 ℃, the acrylate coating can be seriously aged or even failed, the color of the coating turns yellow or black, the mechanical strength is weakened until the protection effect on the optical fiber is lost, the optical fiber is easy to break, and the reliability requirement of optical fiber transmission in a high-temperature environment cannot be met.
CN102109636A discloses a high-temperature-resistant radiation-resistant optical fiber and a processing technology thereof, wherein the optical fiber comprises a fiber core, a cladding and a coating layer, the coating layer comprises a sputtering coating layer, and an electroplating coating layer is electroplated outside the sputtering coating layer. The sputter coating layer comprises one of a sputter aluminum coating film, a sputter copper coating film, a sputter nickel coating film, a sputter chromium coating film or a sputter gold coating film. The plating film layer includes one of an aluminum plating layer, a copper plating layer, a nickel plating layer, a chromium plating layer, a gold plating layer, a cobalt plating layer, or a lead plating layer. The invention uses metal material as coating, because the high-low temperature performance of the metal material is far better than that of the high molecular material, and can shield the irradiation well, and the optical fiber with the metal coating has good high temperature resistance, and can resist the high temperature of more than 400 ℃. However, since the hardness of the metal coating is much greater than that of the polymer coating and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal coating is much different from that of the glass cladding, a severe microbending effect is generated on the optical fiber, resulting in an increase in optical loss of the metal-coated optical fiber. The optical loss of metal coated fibers at 1310nm and 1550nm can be as high as 5dB/km or more, which limits the usable length of these metal coated fibers, typically only within 200 meters.
CN101726792A discloses a high temperature resistant optical fiber and a manufacturing method thereof, the high temperature resistant optical fiber comprises an optical fiber and a coating coated on the outer surface of the optical fiber, wherein the coating is a polyimide coating, is formed by dip-coating the outer surface of the optical fiber with a polyimide solution and heating and curing, and comprises pre-coating, pre-curing and secondary coating; the optical fiber can be used in high-temperature and severe working environment, the long-term use temperature can reach 300 ℃, the use characteristic is stable, and good durability can be maintained. However, the attenuation value of the high-temperature resistant optical fiber prepared by the invention at 1550nm is 0.5dB/km, the transmission loss of the optical fiber is large, and the high-temperature resistant optical fiber is not suitable for long-distance use.
CN103323906A discloses a high temperature resistant optical fiber, which is a single mode optical fiber, a multimode optical fiber, a polarization maintaining optical fiber, a rare earth doped optical fiber or a large numerical aperture optical fiber. The high-temperature resistant optical fiber has the screening strength of 100kpsi or 200kpsi, the typical Nd value is more than 20, and the high-temperature resistant optical fiber can provide commercial segment length more than 60km and is suitable for long-distance and long-span application. The invention adopts acrylic resin to carry out one-time single-layer coating, simplifies the optical fiber coating manufacturing process, and in addition, the uniformity of the single-coating material ensures the stability of the temperature resistance of the optical fiber at the environment temperature of 150 ℃, and can be used for a long time in a severe environment and used for a short time at the environment temperature of 200 ℃. However, when the optical fiber is prepared, the drawing speed is 200-1500 m/min, the drawing speed is too low, the productivity is low, the geometric parameters of the optical fiber can be influenced, and higher production cost can be brought, and although the single-layer coating simplifies the coating process, the optical fiber has large transmission loss and is not suitable for long-distance use.
