A thermal shock test was applied to evaluate the adhesion of ITO coated quartz optical fibers.
The influence of annealing temperature on the adhesion of ITO coated optical fibers was studied, the result shows that optimal adhesion can be acquired when annealing temperature is 500 °C.
Surface treatments of ultrasonic cleaning and the application of surface-active agent have effectively enhanced the adhesion and photo-electric properties of ITO coated quartz optical fiber.
