の注目を浴びつつある方法である。A quartz glass crab layer can be formed on the blue quartz glass core by a CVD method, a VAD method, or a rod-in-chape method, but whichever method is used, also requires large-scale production equipment. On the other hand, polymer clad-silica glass core optical fibers have low loss properties equivalent to optical fibers made entirely of silica glass, and moreover, the formation of a cladding layer on the silica glass core is basically Since this process is similar to the molding process of polymers, it is expected that it can be easily performed using simple equipment compared to the formation of a silica glass crund layer, and research into practical application is being actively carried out. Conventionally, known methods for forming a polymer clad layer include an extrusion molding method, a method of applying and baking a thermosetting resin paint, and a method of applying and curing an ultraviolet curable paint. Among these well-known methods, the coating and curing method for ultraviolet curable paints allows the coating and curing work by ultraviolet ray irradiation to be performed at room temperature, and the ultraviolet ray irradiation equipment is not very expensive. This method is particularly attracting attention in this field.

いために外力により損傷を被り易い欠点もある。By the way, various types of ultraviolet curable paints are currently known, but all of them have a refractive index that is that of quartz glass (n6-1.4
58) Ultraviolet curable paints, which are larger in size and are not suitable as coating materials for cladding, and are exemplified in U.S.P. 4,511,209, have low viscosity at room temperature, so they cannot be used as coating materials for silica glass cores immediately after being drawn. When applied to the surface, there is a problem in that a partial flow-down phenomenon occurs, making it difficult to form a thin and uniform rad layer. Furthermore, silicone resins currently used for cladding have the disadvantage that the hardness of the cured film is poor, so that they are easily damaged by external forces.

ァクター的に極めて不利である。Although making the cladding layer thicker may somewhat improve the above problem, it is not a fundamental solution; on the contrary, a thicker cladding layer increases the finished outer diameter of the optical fiber. The space factor of the core decreases, which is extremely disadvantageous in terms of space factor.

が小さい長所をも具備する。The paint of the present invention has an acrylate resin as its main component, but since it has been modified with a fluorine content of 20 to 60% by weight, it has a refractive index lower than that of a silica glass core. death,
Therefore, the quartz glass core immediately after being drawn is not only suitable as a material for forming the kraft layer, but also has a good affinity for the quartz glass core and a moderate viscosity of 300 to 10,000 c,p at 25°C. It is possible to apply the coating thinly and uniformly to the surface of the substrate, and then irradiate it with ultraviolet rays to form a uniformly thin cladding layer. Furthermore, since the cladding layer of the present invention has a high Shore A hardness of at least 80 after crosslinking by ultraviolet irradiation, it exhibits excellent resistance to external forces even if it is a thin layer of about 2 to 30 μm. The silica glass core optical fiber of the present invention, which is composed of a cured product of an ultraviolet curable paint and has a kraft layer with a thickness of 2 to 30 μm, has a low transmission loss and a small finished outer diameter (space factor).
It also has some small advantages.

ましい。In the present invention, the amount of modified fluorine is other than 20 to 60% by weight, and the viscosity at 25°C is 300 to 10%,
If a paint other than 0OOc,p is used, it is difficult to apply the paint thinly and uniformly to the surface of the quartz glass core immediately after it has been drawn. Therefore, in the present invention, the amount of modified fluorine is 25 to 55% by weight, particularly 30 to 55% by weight.
50% by weight, and the viscosity at 25°C is 300~
s, oooc, p, especially 350 to 4.000C9p, are preferred; on the other hand, when the paint used has a low Shore A hardness of less than 80 after crosslinking by ultraviolet irradiation,
Due to the poor resistance to external forces, the optical fibers are subject to significant damage due to the external forces encountered during installation, which increases the risk of increased transmission losses in the optical fibers. Therefore, the coating material of the present invention has Shore A after crosslinking by ultraviolet irradiation.
Those with a hardness of at least 85, especially at least 9o are preferred.
