The optical fiber clamp 12 and the optical fiber clamp 15 are opened, the whole sample containing the optical fiber 16, the rubber sleeve 18 and the new optical fiber pressing block 21 is taken out, the surface of the new optical fiber pressing block 21 on which the optical fiber 16 is fixed faces downwards, and the soft pen brush is used for dipping the absolute ethyl alcohol to remove the lead powder exposed in the air of the optical fiber 16. Putting a new optical fiber pressing block 21 into the liquid tank 2, extruding the sliding block 5 and the sliding block 6 towards the liquid tank 2 to ensure that the distance between the sliding block 5 and the sliding block 6 is approximately the same as that between the edge of the liquid tank 2, fixing the tail fiber part of the optical fiber 16 to be processed by using the optical fiber clamp 13 and the optical fiber clamp 14, and loosening the sliding block 5 and the sliding block 6 to naturally stretch the optical fiber 16 outside the liquid tank 2 to be straight; the slider 4 and the slider 7 are pressed towards the liquid tank 2 and the remaining optical fiber 16 is fixed by the optical fiber clamp 12 and the optical fiber clamp 15, so that the remaining part of the tail fiber of the optical fiber 16 is naturally stretched and straightened. And (3) injecting hydrofluoric acid into the liquid tank 2, enabling the surface of the hydrofluoric acid to be higher than the bottom surface of the optical fiber pressing block 2, and finishing the corrosion processing on the second side surface of the optical fiber 16 after waiting for 19 minutes.
After the etching process is completed, the hydrofluoric acid in the liquid tank is drained by using an injector, then deionized water is injected, the residual hydrofluoric acid on the surface of the etched optical fiber 16 is cleaned, a sample is placed for 5 minutes after the deionized water is injected, and then deionized water waste liquid is pumped out and new deionized water is injected. After the process of changing water and standing the sample is repeated for 7 times, the residual waste liquid in the liquid tank 2 is pumped out, and the side surface of the current optical fiber 16 which is corroded is naturally dried. And opening the optical fiber clamp 13 and the optical fiber clamp 14, releasing the stress borne by the tail optical fiber 16 of the optical fiber near the new optical fiber press block 21, opening the optical fiber clamp 12 and the optical fiber clamp 15, taking out the new optical fiber press block 21, opening the buckle 20 of the rubber sleeve 18, taking out the optical fiber 16 sample, and obtaining the I-shaped optical fiber with two side surfaces almost strictly parallel.
