Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, POF includes step optical fiber (SI-POF) whose refractive index does not change in the fiber radial direction. SI-POF increases the refractive index of the core layer relative to the cladding layer by adding dopants in the core layer polymer. However, due to The melting temperature of most dopants is lower than the glass transition temperature of the core polymer. During the melt mixing process, the dispersion effect of the dopant in the core polymer is inevitably unsatisfactory. Therefore, in SI- During the manufacturing process of POF preform, it is difficult to ensure that the core layer meets the requirements of uniform distribution of light refractive index, and in the process of use, the dopant introduced into the SI-POF core layer significantly increases the propagation loss of light

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polymer optical fiber preparation, in particular to a single-mode step-type polymer optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As we all know, Polymer Optical Fibers (POF) is an optical fiber composed of a core layer made of a polymer material with a high refractive index and a cladding layer with a low refractive index. The POF itself does not emit light, and must be given a certain amount of light irradiation. The light enters from one end of the POF, undergoes multiple total reflections along the core layer, and emits the brightness, brightness, and signal changes from the other end. Compared with glass optical fibers, POF has the advantages of good biocompatibility, lower processing temperature, larger elastic strain limit and lower Young's modulus, etc., and has wider applications in grating sensing applications prospect. [0003] At present, POF includes step opt...
