Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a small-outer-diameter low-bending-loss single-mode optical fiber, and belongs to the field of optical communication transmission.
Background
With the continuous development of FTTx, optical fibers face complex construction environments such as the interior of a cell and a corner of a corridor under many conditions, and thus certain bending resistance of the optical fibers is required, so that the optical fibers can still ensure normal transmission of signals under the condition of small bending radius.
G.657.A1 optical fiber, at least meets the condition of 10mm bending radius, and meets the FTTx use environment. In order to achieve better bending performance of the optical fiber, the mode field diameter of the optical fiber is reduced or the cut-off wavelength of the optical fiber is increased, and considering that the cut-off wavelength of the optical fiber after cabling must be smaller than 1260nm, the space for improving the bending performance of the optical fiber by increasing the cut-off wavelength of the optical fiber is limited, the mode field diameter of the optical fiber is reduced, but the G.657.A1 optical fiber is required to be compatible with G.652.D at the same time, and the fusion loss of the optical fiber is increased by reducing the MFD of the optical fiber. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an optical fiber having a large mode field diameter and excellent bending properties.
Compared with a common single-mode optical fiber structure, a common method for improving the bending performance of the optical fiber is a sunken outer cladding layer design, the bending performance of the optical fiber can be improved under the condition that the doping of a core layer is not increased through the sunken outer cladding layer design, but the sunken layer is far away from the core layer of the optical fiber through the design, the improvement on the bending performance of the optical fiber is weak, and in order to achieve the purpose of excellent bending performance, the sunken layer needs to be designed to be wider and deeper, the process is complex, and the cut-off wavelength and the dispersion performance of the optical fiber can also be influenced.
Through research, the more effective method for improving the bending resistance of the optical fiber is to design an optical fiber section by adopting a sunken inner cladding structure, and through the research on the optical fiber of the sunken inner cladding structure, the section design has certain requirements and limits on the depth and the width of the sunken inner cladding of the optical fiber, the bending resistance of the optical fiber is not greatly improved due to the over-shallow and over-narrow inner cladding, the over-deep and over-wide inner cladding is not beneficial to ensuring the larger mode field diameter of the optical fiber, and in order to ensure the larger mode field diameter and the excellent bending resistance of the optical fiber, the design of the width and the depth of the sunken inner cladding is very important.
The profile structure not only affects the bending performance of the optical fiber, but also has an important influence on the attenuation of the optical fiber. The optical fiber core layer is increased in proportion of germanium dioxide, which is beneficial to enhancing the bending insensitivity of the optical fiber, but the increase of the concentration of the germanium dioxide can cause the enhancement of Rayleigh scattering, thereby increasing the attenuation of the optical fiber. Another way to enhance the bend insensitivity of the fiber is to increase the fluorine doping of the inner cladding, which, however, reduces the viscosity of the inner cladding, which leads to a viscosity mismatch between the core and inner cladding of the fiber and thus to an increase in fiber attenuation. Therefore, ensuring the bending performance of the optical fiber requires not only satisfying the difference (Δ total) between the core refractive index and the inner cladding refractive index, but also a reasonable distribution between the core refractive index and the inner cladding refractive index.
The small-outer-diameter optical fiber is realized by reducing the thickness of the coating layer on the premise of keeping the size of the optical fiber glass part unchanged, but the reduction of the thickness of the coating layer means that the protection of the coating layer on the optical fiber glass part is weakened, so that when the optical fiber is extruded from the outside, the pressure is more easily conducted to the optical fiber glass part, and in addition, when the optical cable is used in a low-temperature environment, the optical fiber can be extruded by the contraction of the outer sleeve. Microbend losses are losses caused by small distortions in the fiber axis, and thus microbend losses generally increase with decreasing fiber outer diameter. The requirement for microbending performance is high in view of the fact that small outer diameter optical fibers are generally used in small outer diameter optical cables or other small optical devices. Researches find that the microbending performance of the optical fiber can be improved from two aspects, namely the macrobending performance of the optical fiber is improved, namely the section of the optical fiber is designed by adopting the sunken inner cladding structure; and secondly, the protection of the optical fiber coating on the glass part is enhanced, and the microbending performance of the optical fiber is ensured when the outer diameter of the optical fiber is reduced by reasonably matching the modulus of the coating on the inner layer and the outer layer of the optical fiber and adjusting the coating curing process.
Patent CN102272635A describes a bend insensitive optical fiber with a small outer diameter, requiring that the first coating layer preferably has an outer diameter below 160um, more preferably less than 155 um. The first layer coating has the function of buffering external force on the optical fiber, is very important for improving the microbending performance of the optical fiber, has too low coating thickness, can put forward too high requirements on the performance of the coating in order to ensure the microbending of the optical fiber, and is not beneficial to large-scale production and application of the optical fiber.
U.S. Pat. No. 4, 20180203184, 1 describes a small outer diameter optical fiber and designs the composition of the optical fiber coating, but there is no mention of how to improve the microbending properties of the optical fiber by optimizing the curing conditions, and in fact, the curing conditions of the optical fiber coating have a large influence on the microbending properties of the optical fiber in addition to the design of the coating components.
US20190049660a1 describes a series of optical fibers with bending properties satisfying g.657.a1, most refractive index profiles are designed with outer cladding depressed, and few refractive index profiles contain inner cladding depressed structures, but the outer cladding is very complicated in design, long in production process route, high in cost, and not beneficial to mass production.
