APPARATUS FOR STRIPPING OPTICAL FIBERS AND OPTICAL FIBER ASSEMBLIES |
| 摘要 |
An apparatus for performing a downhole operation includes: a carrier configured to be deployed in a borehole in an earth formation; and an optical fiber assembly disposed at the carrier, the optical fiber assembly including an optical fiber and a polymer material bonded to a length of the optical fiber. A portion of the polymer material has been removed by: disposing a liquid metallic material proximate to the polymer material, the polymer material being bonded to the optical fiber; heating the liquid metallic material to a temperature sufficient to burn the polymer material and de-bond the polymer material from a surface of the optical fiber; and removing the polymer material and liquid metal from the surface of the optical fiber. |

1. An apparatus for performing a downhole operation comprising:
a carrier configured to be deployed in a borehole in an earth formation; and an optical fiber assembly disposed at the carrier, the optical fiber assembly including an optical fiber and a polymer material bonded to a length of the optical fiber, a portion of the polymer material having been removed by: disposing a liquid metallic material proximate to the polymer material, the polymer material being bonded to the optical fiber; heating the liquid metallic material to a temperature sufficient to burn the polymer material and de-bond the polymer material from a surface of the optical fiber; and removing the polymer material and liquid metal from the surface of the optical fiber. |
