Question

What is the advantages of using quartz as the material of optical fibre?

Answer 1

Since quartz fiber is expensive, it has limited applications. It is used mainly for producing composite materials (due to having higher stability compared to glass fiber) and in electrical applications where thermal resistance and dielectric properties are important

Answer 2

Supply all kinds of photovoltaic quartz pieces (quartz furnace tube, injection pipe, a push rod, a bracket, a boat and other) quartz glass softening point temperature about 1730 DEG C, in 1100 DEG C for a long time, the short time maximum use temperatures up to 1450 DEG C.

2, corrosion resistance

Except hydrofluoric acid, quartz glass hardly and other acids occurred chemical reaction, the acid resistant ability is 30 times of ceramic, stainless steel 150 times, especially chemical stability at high temperature, is unmatched by any other engineering materials.

3, good thermal stability

Quartz glass thermal expansion coefficient is extremely small, can withstand drastic temperature changes, will quartz glass heating to 1100 DEG C or so into the water at room temperature, will not burst.

4, good light transmission performance

Quartz glass in the ultraviolet to infrared whole spectral band has good light transmittance, visible light transmittance of more than 93%, especially in the ultraviolet spectral region, the maximum transmittance can reach more than 80.

5, electrical insulation performance is good

The resistance value of quartz glass is ten thousand times that of ordinary glass, it is an excellent electrical insulation material, even at high temperature.

Quartz glass due to the excellent physical and chemical properties, so it is widely used in electric light source, semiconductor, optical communications, military industry, metallurgy, building materials, chemical, machinery, electric power, environmental protection and other fields.
Since quartz fiber is expensive, it has limited applications. It is used mainly for producing composite materials (due to having higher stability compared to glass fiber) and in electrical applications where thermal resistance and dielectric properties are important.
