Abstract

Abstract : The end face of an optical fiber connector can be easily contaminated, the curvature radius of the end face can be difficult to guarantee, and the polishing film might not be durable during polishing. To solve these problems, a soluble fixed soft abrasive film polishing method was proposed. Through dyeing and dissolving, tensile strength, and polishing experiments, the influence of the binder and abrasive on polishing film production was studied. The results showed that when the content of each component was 15 wt% epoxy resin, 5 wt% polyacrylic resin, 75 wt% bimodal SiO2, and 5 wt% other additives, the polishing film had superior workpiece polishing quality and durability. After polishing, the end surface of the fiber connector was smooth and clean, the surface morphology of the curved surface was complete, and the surface roughness reached R a 5 nm.
