Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical fiber comprising: a glass fiber including a core and a cladding; and a coating layer coating an outer periphery of the glass fiber; wherein the coating layer includes a primary coating layer and a secondary coating layer, and a hardness at a depth of 200 nm from a surface of the secondary coating layer, H IT-200 nm , is 0.02 to 0.20 GPa as measured with a nano indenter.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An optical fiber comprising: a glass fiber including a core and a cladding; and a coating layer coating an outer periphery of the glass fiber; wherein the coating layer includes a primary coating layer and a secondary coating layer, and a hardness at a depth of 200 nm from a surface of the secondary coating layer, H IT-200 nm , is 0.02 to 0.20 GPa as measured with a nano indenter. 2 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary coating layer is a cured product of a resin composition comprising an epoxy (meth)acrylate. 3 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary coating layer is a cured product of a resin composition comprising 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone. 4 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein a Young's modulus of the secondary coating layer is 0.5 to 2.0 GPa at 23° C.
