圆双折射光纤的几何判别原理

基于耦合模理论,提出一种判别圆双折射光纤的简易方法.首先指出在单模工作条件下的线双折射光纤中,一对互相正交的线偏振模间耦合系数为虚数,而在圆双折射光纤中,耦合系数为实数.从上述事实出发并根据单模光纤横截面上折射率分布的对称性,确定了光纤轴向倒置后几何形状不变足圆双折射光纤的三个必要条件之一.利用这种判别方法,可以确定对互易光纤而言,只有扭转圆光纤和熔融状态下制作的螺旋光纤才是真的圆双折射光纤.

Excited state absorption spectroscopy for thulium-doped zirconium fluoride fiber

The excited state absorption (ESA) transitions at 1050 and 1420 nm play a fundamental role in thulium-doped fiber amplifiers (TDFA). We present a novel setup to measure the spectral cross-sections of these transitions in amplifier fibers and the results of this measurement in case of thulium-doped fluorozirconate (ZBLAN) fibers. Besides a standard system for fiber attenuation measurements and a long-pass filter, we use only components from the fiber amplifier setup, including the active fiber. No special parts are needed. We show that this fiber optic method delivers reliable results for different lengths of the doped fibers. The oscillator strengths of the measured transitions are calculated and compared to values published in the literature.     

XPS study of PBO fiber surface modified by incorporation of hydroxyl polar groups in main chains

Dihydroxy poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (DHPBO), a modified poly(p-phenylene benzoxazole) (PBO) polymer containing double hydroxyl groups in polymer chains, was synthesized by copolymerization of 4,6-diamino resorcinol dihydrochloride (DAR), purified terephthalic acid (TA) and 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid (DHTA). DHPBO fibers were prepared by dry-jet wet-spinning method. The effects of hydroxyl polar groups on the surface elemental compositions of PBO fiber were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the ratio of oxygen/carbon on the surface of DHPBO fibers is higher than that on the surface of PBO fibers, which indicates the content of polar groups on the surface of DHPBO fiber increase compared with PBO fiber.     

Modified null field method for elastic wave scattering from a partially debonded fiber-SH-waves

Debonded fibers influence the macro-mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composite materials. Debonded fibers contribute to the initiation and growth of cracks at the fiber/matrix interface. To examine such problems, the scattering of elastic SH-waves (problem of anti-plane strain) from debonded fibers is studied with a numerical method which can handle the mixed boundary conditions on the partially bonded fiber. A modification of the null field of T-matrix method is developed for this purpose. The modification is achieved by the introduction of a mathematical surface. The simultaneous solution of the integral representations of the field scattered by the mathematical surface and the actual fiber surface give rise to sufficient equations that permit solution of the debonded fiber problem. The scattering cross-section and the far field amplitude are calculated as a function of frequency, fiber properties and debonding area. This will be of interest in structural applications where such cross-sections can be used to compute the dynamical effective properties of damaged composites.     

Tensile performance of packaged optical fibers

The tensile testing of packaged optical fibers involves the measurement of elastic strains in the range 2-10%. Under these conditions slippage at the tensile grips can produce erroneous results when a nonextensometric method of measurement (e.g., in positive production testing) is used. Slippage of packaged silica fibers (polypropylene/silicone resin-coated silica fibers) observed when using standard pneumatic parallel-faced jaws has been eliminated by using 50-mm-diameter pulley grips with suitable clamps to hold the fiber ends. With this arrangement clean fiber failures are obtained within the gauge length. A correction factor has been estimated for the measured strain values by a theoretical analysis of the measured tension/extension curves for the composite polypropylene/silicone resin-coated fibers. Statistical data have also been obtained for polypropylene-(PP) coated lead silicate fibers and PP-coated “plastic clad” silica fibers. In the latter case, true failure had been obscured by the onset of fiber slippage within the PP jacket.     

Use of the mark-tracking method for optical fiber characterization

The mark-tracking method was used in the uniaxial tensile test to determine the elastic properties of optical fibers. The mark-tracking method is based on the follow-up of two markers on the specimen with the help of an image processing technique. It allows us to determine the true strain with respect to the small strains assumption (≤1%) or the finite strains (>1%) without any impact of the rigid solid movement or pulley fiber sliding on the measured strain. Both coated optical fiber and stripped fiber were subjected to the uniaxial tensile test and the cantilever beam bending test. The Young’ modulus results of the stripped fiber were found to be very similar for both tests. Thus, the mark-tracking method is adaptable to the tensile test of optical fibers and the elastic behaviors of both coated optical fiber and stripped fiber are found to be non-linear. Their Young's moduli are 22 and 79 GPa, respectively. These results revealed that those coatings play a mechanical role in fiber elongation.

Effect of chemical modifications of the pineapple leaf fiber surfaces on the interfacial and mechanical properties of laminated biocomposites

Natural fiber reinforced renewable resource based laminated composites were prepared from biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and untreated or surface-treated pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) by compression molding using the film stacking method. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of surface treatment of PALF on the performance of the fiber-reinforced composites. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to aid in the analysis. The mechanical properties of the PLA laminated composites were improved significantly after chemical treatment. It was found that both silane- and alkali-treated fiber reinforced composites offered superior mechanical properties compared to untreated fiber reinforced composites. The effects of temperature on the viscoelastic properties of composites were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). From the DMA results, incorporation of the PALF fibers resulted in a considerable increase of the storage modulus (stiffness) values. The heat defection temperature (HDT) of the PALF fiber reinforced PLA laminated composites was significantly higher than the HDT of the neat PLA resin. The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) results suggest that surface treatment of PALF affects the crystallization properties of the PLA matrix. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the distribution of PLA within the fiber network. SEM photographs of fiber surface and fracture surfaces of composites clearly indicated the extent of fiber–matrix interface adhesion. It was found that the interfacial properties between the reinforcing PALF fibers and the surrounding matrix of the laminated composite are very important to the performance of the composite materials and PALF fibers are good candidates for the reinforcement fiber of high performance laminated biodegradable biocomposites.

The Effects of Surface and Pore Characteristics of Natural Fiber on Interfacial Adhesion of Henequen Fiber/PP Biocomposites

The pore characteristics and morphological changes of henequen fiber after electron beam (EB) irradiation were studied, and their effects on interfacial adhesion between henequen fiber and polypropylene (PP) matrix of biocomposites were investigated. The surface morphologies of the fibers exposed to various EB irradiation doses were observed with an atomic force microscope (AFM). The porosity and pore distribution of fibers were characterized by mercury porosimetry and nonfreezing bound water (NFW) was measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Henequen fiber-reinforced polypropylene biocomposites were manufactured by the compression molding method and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) was analyzed to examine the interfacial adhesion between henequen fiber and the PP matrix of the biocomposites. The AFM images indicated that pectin, waxy materials and impurities were removed from the surfaces of the henequen fibers during EB irradiation, resulting in changes of the surface morphology and characteristics of the fibers. When pectin, waxy compounds and impurities were removed, small pores of 1–0.01 μm were produced, and total surface area and porosity were increased. The increase in total surface area and porosity induced better adhesion between fiber and polymer which was confirmed by ILSS tests. However, the excessive creation of small pore size gives a negative effect on the tensile strength of henequen fiber. The best interfacial adhesion between henequen fiber and PP was obtained for the biocomposite reinforced with the henequen fiber treated with 10 kGy, which has the highest surface area and optimum pore diameter for interlocking between henequen fiber and polypropylene.
