Abstract
The research object of surface defects in optical glass processing is mainly focused on the surface of homogeneous monomers, but there are few reports on the surface polishing defects of composite materials with a variety of monomers with different physical and chemical properties. In this paper, the defect samples with different characteristics are obtained by changing the types of optical fiber image transmission elements, adjusting different polishing processes and parameters. The structure and morphology of the defects on the surface of optical fiber image transmission components are observed by white light interferometer and atomic force microscope. The composition at different positions and the combination of chemical elements are determined by Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The specific reasons for the defects are analyzed, the optimal polishing process and corresponding parameters are obtained, and the mechanism of the formation of defects on the polished surface of optical fiber image transmission elements is clarified. The results of the study have a certain guiding significance for the control of polishing defects on the surface of composite materials composed of various monomers, and provide data and theoretical support for improving the polishing quality and efficiency of optical fiber image transmission components.
