The invention relates to the field of components with optical fibers and of associated optical fibers. The invention relates, on the one hand, to a component with optical fiber including an at least partly bent optical fiber () which successively comprises, from the center to the periphery, an optical core () based on silica, an optical cladding () based on silica, and a coating () having a transparency to infrared radiation larger than 85%. On the other hand, the invention relates to an optical fiber, successively comprising, from the center to the periphery, an optical core () based on silica, an optical cladding () based on silica, and a coating () having a transparency infrared radiation larger than 85%.

Component with optical fiber and associated optical fiber

The invention relates to the field of components with optical fibers and of associated optical fibers. The invention relates, on the one hand, to a component with optical fiber including an at least partly bent optical fiber () which successively comprises, from the center to the periphery, an optical core () based on silica, an optical cladding () based on silica, and a coating () having a transparency to infrared radiation larger than 85%. On the other hand, the invention relates to an optical fiber successively comprising, from the center to the periphery, an optical core () based on silica, an optical cladding () based on silica, and a coating () having a transparency to infrared radiation larger than 85%.

An optical fiber includes a coating comprising a cross-linked network comprising the reaction product of monomers and oligomers and at least one polymer dispersed or interpenetrated in the cross-linked network. The oligomer and polymer components used are at least partially fluorinated. The fiber-coating composition of the invention presents a refractive index that is low while satisfying the conditions for industrial fiber-drawing.
