The invention provides a fluorescent
optical fiber, wherein a layer of fluorescent
powder is deposited on the surface of an
optical fiber. A production method of the fluorescent
optical fiber comprises the following steps of: (1) firstly, cleaning the optical
fiber, and removing water in a hot
air drying way; (2) carrying out mild
plasma treatment on the optical
fiber, so that the
adhesive force of the fluorescent
powder to the surface of the optical
fiber can be increased; and (3) performing vacuum
sputtering by the means that the optical fiber which is performed by the mild
plasma surface treatment is put into a low-temperature horizontal magnetron
sputtering machine or performing
evaporation plating or immersion plating by the means that the purified fluorescent
powder is put into a
vacuum evaporation plating
machine, so that a layer of the fluorescent powder can be obtained on the surface of the optical fiber. A
white light floodlight which is made from the fluorescent optical fiber is assembled by the means that the fluorescent optical fiber, an optical lens module, a
diode luminescence module and a power source module are matched with one another. The production method of the fluorescent optical fiber is fewer in working procedures and low in cost. The
white light floodlight which is made from the fluorescent optical fiber can directly emit
white light without secondary light distribution, a lighting angle is approximate to 360 degrees, the light
ray is soft, and the white light
floodlight is free of glare and faculae.
