摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method for making fused silica glass by introducing a liquid, preferably halide-free, silicon-containing compound (32) directly into the flame (23) of a burner (24), thereby forming amorphous soot (25). This soot is deposited on a surface (26) and consolidated into a body of fused silica glass. The invention also relates to an apparatus which includes a burner (24) which generates a flame (23); an injector (31) for supplying a compound (32) to the flame (23) to convert the compound to soot and a surface (26) on which the soot is deposited.
摘要:
An optical fiber ribbon includes a plurality of coated, substantially coplanar optical fibers (2) and a ribbon matrix material (4) which maintains the pluratily of coated optical fibers (2) in substantially coplanar alignment. Each of the optical fibers (2) includes a glass core (6), a cladding layer (8) surrounding and adjacent to the glass core (6), and a primary polymeric coating material (10), preferably containing a silicone, surrrounding and adjacent to the cladding layer (8). The primary polymeric coating material (10) adheres to the cladding layer (8) to form a cladding layer-primary polymeric coating interface. Upon application of a longitudinal stripping force at the cladding layer-primary polymeric coating interface, the ribbon matrix material (4) and the primary polymeric coating material (10) are substantially removed from the cladding layer (8).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition for coating an optical fiber (10) that comprises a core fiber (12), a cladding (14), a inner primary coating (16), and an outer primary coating (18). Wherein the composition of the present invention contains an oligomer capable of being polymerized, a monomer suitable to control viscosity of the composition, and an adhesion promoter which includes a compound containing a cyclic structure interposed between at least two reactive silanes which are independently an alkoxysilane or a halosilane. Another composition of the present invention includes an oligomer capable of being polymerized, a monomer suitable to control viscosity of the composition, an adhesion promoter which includes a compound containing a reactive silane group, and a carrier. The present invention also relates to optical fibers and methods of making optical fibers using the composition of the present invention.
摘要:
An optical waveguide fiber having a thin carbon coat (4) over the clad glass layer (2) is disclosed. The carbon coated waveguide shows superior dynamic fatigue resistance, improved adhesion of a polymer overcoat (6) in environmental testing, excellent attenuation stability in environmental testing, excellent attenuation stability in environmental testing, and easy colorability.
