Abstract

The purpose of this work is development of glass compositions for light-guiding core and reflective coat of a rigid optical fiber, coordinated with each other in terms of thermal expansion and technological characteristics. The achievement of this purpose was carried out by establishing the optimal ratio of glass-forming oxides and modifiers in the compositions of these glasses, which made it possible to ensure the thermomechanical strength of the optical fiber and the formation of the required structure in fiber-optic products. The results of the glasses design for light-guiding core and reflective coat of a rigid optical fiber are presented. The results of the influence of the low-silica glasses chemical composition for a light-guiding core on the value of their thermal expansion, the results of the influence of the boron coordination state on the glasses viscosity for optical fiber, as well as the coordination basic principles of glasses for light-guiding core and a reflective coat according to rheological characteristics are presented.
