Abstract
The nickel sealed double-coated optical fiber is constructed from the
double-coated optical fiber sealed with a nickel layer that is fabricated
using electroless plating. The nickel sealed double-coated optical fiber exhibits
good electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength, high resistance to
moisture attack and microbending insensitivity. Moreover, the external damage
protection, abrasion resistance, adhesion, toughness and stripping force of
coatings fit the fiber requirement. As the nickel film thickness is 68 nm,
the fiber has the excellent ability to sustain thermal loading. Nickel sealed
double-coated optical fibers are superior to conventional double-coated optical
fibers and hermetically coated optical fibers for use as optical transmission
lines.
