Preparation and Properties of Optical Fibre Glass for Communication
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Optical fiber communication technology is fastest growing technology in the field of communication. This is mainly due to low transmission losses and low attenuation losses of the signal which has prime importance in the field of communication. Optical fiber uses glass as a core and cladding materials for transmission of the signal. Glasses used for the optical fiber should have low transmission and absorption losses and it should possess high chemical durability. The borosilicate glasses provides most of these properties so borosilicate glasses are used as a core and cladding of the optical fiber cable. So in this study an attempt has been made for higher transmission capability, low absorption losses and to improve chemical resistant as well as mechanical properties. For completion of these properties four types of reference glasses were taken. The first series had variation of molar ratio of Na2O/SiO2, the second series had a variation of Al2O3/SiO2, the third series had variation of ZrO2/SiO2 and the third series had the variation of Na2O/SiO2 along with doping of Gd2O3 and Y2O3. The samples were prepared through traditional melt technique with the help of an electric rod furnace. The prepared samples were characterized for density, chemical durability through ISI powder test method, structural analysis was carried out through FTIR spectrophotometry and compressive strength were also investigated.
