In the field of optical fiber communications, the application of tellurium dioxide is also attracting attention. As an optical fiber communication material, its high refractive index makes signal transmission more efficient, providing strong support for the construction of modern communication networks. Glass manufacturing with special properties, such as tellurium glass, has optical properties beyond conventional glass thanks to its unique chemical composition, providing unlimited possibilities for the design of high-end optical equipment.
In addition, the preparation of tellurium dioxide single crystal is an important cornerstone of its application, and it plays a vital role in the manufacture of infrared devices and acousto-optical devices. The high-precision properties of this crystal have made it a favorite in electronic component manufacturing, providing superior performance and reliability in modern electronic devices. In addition, tellurium dioxide has also been selected as an infrared window material. In aerospace and optical equipment, its light transmittance allows it to efficiently transmit electromagnetic waves in the mid-infrared band, demonstrating its extraordinary optical properties.
Optical fiber is a "bulk material" in the field of communications and a "passive component" that is widely used.
Driven by fields such as low-altitude economy and satellite communications, the current demand for special optical fibers is growing rapidly. In addition, the development of emerging industries such as aerospace, wind energy, and fuel cells will further expand the market demand for special optical fibers.
According to data, the global market size of special optical fibers is expected to reach US$42.13 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate expected to be 17.6%.
Currently, about 90% of information is transmitted through fiber optic cables. Optical fibers are mainly divided into two types: conventional communication optical fibers and special optical fibers.
Among them, special optical fibers cover all optical fibers with special functions in addition to conventional communication optical fibers. Compared with conventional communication optical fibers, special optical fibers have significant differences in doping elements, operating wavelengths, etc. According to different characteristics, the application fields are also different.
From the perspective of downstream applications, in aerospace, petrochemical and other fields, special optical fibers are used to manufacture sensing optical fiber devices, such as pressure and temperature sensors, fiber optic gyroscopes, hydrophones, etc.
In the aerospace field, polarization-maintaining optical fiber plays an important role as the core component of fiber optic gyroscope. In addition, high-temperature-resistant optical fiber, bend-insensitive optical fiber, radiation-resistant optical fiber and ultraviolet optical fiber are also widely used.
Polarization-maintaining optical fiber is one of the most mature and widely used special optical fibers. It is also the main material for manufacturing optical fiber rings in fiber optic gyroscopes. The manufacturing process of fiber optic rings is quite complex, and solving the problem of fiber optic ring manufacturing is the key to improving the accuracy of fiber optic gyroscopes. In the field of guided weapons, fiber optic gyroscopes are also widely used. Fiber optic rings and special optical fibers, as core components of fiber optic inertial navigation, are regarded as "bottlenecks" in key technologies.
In addition, special optical fibers are a key part of fiber lasers and are also widely used in the manufacture of optical fiber communication devices, such as optical amplifiers, wavelength converters, etc.; in the medical field, special optical fibers are used to make medical optical fiber devices such as endoscopes.
Special optical fiber industry chain
From the perspective of the industrial chain, the production process of special optical fibers requires extremely high-quality upstream raw materials, including quartz single-mode or multi-mode carefully prepared by chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) or plasma chemical vapor deposition (PCVD). Optical fiber preform. In addition, a variety of liners, sleeves, coatings, as well as materials such as inert gases, carbon dioxide, photosensitive adhesives, and optical fiber encapsulants need to be used in the production process; the manufacturing of midstream special optical fibers, includes multiple complex technical links, with the main links There are many detailed steps such as fiber drawing, cladding coating, and laser processing.
